Monitoring and security platform for cloud applications, Datadog unveils new capabilities for monitoring DNS. Datadog’s new features allow troubleshooting DNS issues that affect the performance and availability of web applications and backend microservices.
Troubleshoot DNS issues
The new DNS capabilities allow users to monitor key performance metrics about internal and external DNS resolution to maintain efficient service networking and availability. These capabilities also extend Datadog’s Network Performance Monitoring and Synthetic Monitoring capabilities by allowing users to detect when poor internal DNS resolution leads to network and application problems in real-time, and when external DNS resolution is affecting user experience caused by incorrect and poorly performing resolution. The new functionalities include:
- Assessing the performance of all internal DNS queries, transactions, and managed services in one view
- Quickly isolating servers with the highest response time or error rate to incoming requests
- Tracking the resolution time and accessibility of managed domains
- Identifying regional DNS outages and mismatched records
- Correlating DNS queries with application performance and cross microservice communication
Ilan Rabinovitch, Vice President, Product and Community, Datadog, said,
“DNS is the backbone of the Internet, so its performance has a direct effect on the bottom line of every web application. We have built end to end DNS monitoring to provide comprehensive visibility into the health and availability of business-critical applications both for service discovery and user experience.”
