Windows Host Losing Network Connection Is Detected by Datadog
When a host suddenly loses connection to the network and your system, Datadog should alert about this. Eventually, everything should recover once the network is back again.
Motivation
When you're working in a less volatile system environment, a loss of network can be crucial as there is likely no backup host that will enable faster recovery. Thus, you should check your observability tools to catch this.
Structure
Before blocking a host from the network, we verify that the Datadog monitor is in an ok state Afterward, we block all traffic to and from a host and expect Datadog to alert about the isolated host. Eventually, when the host is online again, we expect Datadog to turn into an OK state again. While experimenting, we create a downtime for the Monitor so that it will not escalate due to the ongoing alert.
