Mux Data + Datadog: Bringing video analytics into your observability stack

When an engineer is troubleshooting, switching between dashboards is a productivity killer (and just plain annoying).

It breaks focus, wastes time, and makes it harder to spot how metrics correlate since each platform has its own interface and visualization style.

This context-switching creates costly delays exactly when response time matters most. In these critical moments your users (and team) need answers, not more tabs.

That’s why we’re excited to announce Datadog launched a new integration with Mux Data, so video performance (like buffering and video quality) can be seen right alongside your infrastructure data.

LinkWhat you get out the box

Now your teams can spot correlations easily and quickly between video performance and unintended event, like deploys or failures on your infrastructure. For example, when a user reports buffering, you can immediately see if it correlates with a network blip.

This integration addresses your specific challenges with:

  • Real-time performance correlation: Datadog connects Mux Data insights with the metrics from your infrastructure components, revealing immediate impacts on video delivery.
  • Customizable alerting: Set alert conditions based on Mux Data within Datadog.
  • Native integration: No extra agents to install or maintain.

LinkMaking your data play nice with everything

This Datadog integration is part of our ongoing commitment to making Mux Data work seamlessly with your existing tools (which we wrote about in this blog).

Datadog joins our growing list of integrations designed to give you video metrics wherever they're most valuable to your team.

LinkGetting Started

The integration is available now through Datadog's marketplace. Visit their documentation to get started.
