The record

Purpose: Datadog Cloud Network Monitoring provides a unified view of the health of internal DNS servers and service discovery.
Server diagnostics: It lets users compare DNS request counts across load-balanced servers, establish baselines among similar servers, and troubleshoot latency without SSH access.
Client diagnostics: It can identify services or pods generating high DNS request volume, detect invalid upstream requests, and break down DNS errors by type.
DNS tests: Automated DNS tests can check resolvability and lookup times for A, AAAA, CNAME, MX, and TXT records from managed locations.
Context: Dashboards can show DNS server metrics, traces, and logs alongside data from the rest of the stack.
Integration: The Bind 9 integration enriches and visualizes Query, Query Errors, Network, Lame Servers, Notify, and Security log types with out-of-the-box dashboards.
Requirements: Cloud Network Monitoring requires Datadog Agent v6.14 or later, and DNS monitoring uses eBPF on Linux kernel versions 4.4.0 or later, or systems with eBPF features backported.
API: The Cloud Network Monitoring API can fetch aggregated connections and DNS traffic with their attributes.
Trial: Datadog advertises a 14-day free trial with no credit card required on the DNS Server Monitoring page.
Security and compliance: Datadog’s Trust Center lists compliance materials including SOC 2 Type 2, ISO/IEC 27001, GDPR, HIPAA, and FedRAMP High.
