Datadog NPM now supports Consul networking

Consul is a service networking platform that helps manage and secure communication between microservices in on-prem, hybrid, and multi-cloud architectures. It supports Kubernetes and provides a control plane for automating management of traffic between services through features like service discovery, DNS, load balancing, and routing. Datadog Network Performance Monitoring (NPM) offers visibility into network flow, connections, dependencies, and traffic volume, enabling users to quickly troubleshoot application errors and latency. NPM can be used to monitor traffic between microservices managed by Consul and ensure the health of Envoy proxies. It also brings together network, application, and infrastructure data for monitoring Consul in context.
