10 Top Network Traffic Analysis Tools for Faster Troubleshooting and Capacity Planning

Sep 11, 2026 By Poonam Lalani In Motadata
A request to upgrade a saturated circuit is easy to raise and hard to defend. The interface graph proves the link is full. It says nothing about which application, host or conversation filled it, so the spend gets approved on assumption instead of evidence. The same missing detail turns up everywhere else. Incidents run long because the cause is guessed at, capacity planning rests on estimates, and security questions arrive weeks after the traffic record expired.

Analysts open it to compare launch adoption across segments, diagnose a metric that moved overnight, or turn a week of scattered numbers into a readout that a leader can act on.

Understanding NetFlow duplication: Why it happens, and how to deduplicate

Sep 11, 2026 By Datadog In Datadog
NetFlow is a popular network protocol for collecting metadata about traffic flows across your environment so that it can be exported for analysis and monitoring. One of the most common issues that users encounter is NetFlow duplication, which occurs when identical flow records from the same conversation are recorded from different sources. Flow duplication inflates traffic data, undermining capacity planning and making top-talker rankings unreliable.

Moving Your Business Website: How to Avoid Email and Hosting Disruption

Moving Your Business Website: How to Avoid Email and Hosting Disruption

Sep 11, 2026 By OpsMatters In OpsMatters
Website migration from one host to another is more than copying a few files to another server. A website might depend on databases, e-mail accounts, DNS records, SSL certificates, sub-domains, and other external applications that should continue to function after migration. Proper planning ensures the safety of the information and eliminates any risk of losing access to emails or having people visit a partially transferred website. This can be achieved by preparing the new hosting in advance.

How we built Datadog Experiments

Sep 10, 2026 By Datadog In Datadog
When Datadog acquires a company, we usually rebuild the product rather than plugging it in as is. That’s exactly what we did with Eppo, an experimentation and feature-management platform. Eppo’s feature-management capabilities became Datadog Feature Flags, while experimentation became Datadog Experiments. This post focuses on the experimentation platform and four changes we made to help you get to a decision faster.
