Network Path for Datadog Network Performance Monitoring is in private beta. Reach out to your Datadog representative to sign up, and then use the following instructions to configure the Datadog Agent to gather network path data.
Overview
Setting up Network Path involves configuring your Linux environment to monitor and trace the network routes between your services and endpoints. This helps identify bottlenecks, latency issues, and potential points of failure in your network infrastructure.
Setup
Agent version 7.55
or higher is required.
Enable NPM.
Enable the system-probe
traceroute module in /etc/datadog-agent/system-probe.yaml
by adding the following:
traceroute:
enabled: true
Enable network_path
to monitor NPM connections by creating or editing the /etc/datadog-agent/datadog.yaml
file:
network_path:
connections_monitoring:
enabled: true
collector:
workers: 10 # default 4
For full configuration details, see the following:
network_path:
connections_monitoring:
## @param enabled - bool - required - default:false
## Enable network path collection
#
enabled: true
collector:
## @param workers - int - optional - default:4
## Number of workers that can collect paths in parallel
## Recommendation: leave at default
#
workers: 10
Restart the Agent after making these configuration changes to start seeing network paths.
Note: Network path is only supported for Linux environments.
