From point-of-sale (POS) terminals to cloud-based applications and mobile devices, reliable connectivity is critical to business operations. Even brief disruptions can negatively impact user experiences, resulting in failed transactions, delayed application responses, or repeated attempts to reconnect.

Juniper Mist is an AI-powered networking platform that provides insight into wireless environments, including access point performance and radio frequency health. As Mist-managed infrastructure becomes central to business operations, teams need visibility into device health, client experience, and traffic patterns to diagnose connectivity issues before they reach users.

The Datadog Juniper Mist integration (now in Preview) collects device, client, port, and traffic metrics through the Juniper Mist API, enabling teams to correlate user experience with application and infrastructure data to identify which sites, devices, or ports are contributing to connectivity issues.

In this post, we’ll cover how the Juniper Mist integration helps engineering teams:
