Datadog Network Monitoring launches Data Observability suite with Quality Moni...
What happened
Between the Jan 5, 2026 and Jan 14, 2026 captures of Datadog's pricing page, Pulse recorded one change: Data Jobs Monitoring renamed to Data Observability: Jobs Monitoring and reorganized under a new Data Observability category; Data Observability: Quality Monitoring added as new product at $16/monitored table/month. Pulse files it as a packaging change (package change) with a neutral direction. Pulse's latest capture (Jun 14, 2026) lists Cloud Network Monitoring at $5, Network Path at $5, Network Device Monitoring at $7, NetFlow Monitoring (60-day Retention) at $0.75 and NetFlow Monitoring (30-day Retention) at $0.65.
Datadog's previous recorded change was "Datadog Network Monitoring Introduces Network Path Add-On with Custom Pricing, Enhancing Packet Loss and Latency Insights for Improved MTTR and Root Cause Identification" (Q3 2025). Before that Pulse recorded "Datadog Network Monitoring Removes CNM Flow Allotment Documentation, Impacting 6 Million Flows Per Host Limit" (Q2 2025). Datadog has been tracked since 2023-11-14.
In the same window New Relic, Dynatrace, Grafana, Elastic and Sumologic also changed their Cloud & DevOps pricing pages. Those moves are listed further down, and the Pulse Agent can compare them side by side.
