Use Amazon NAT Gateway to enable instances in a private subnet to connect to the internet, but prevent the internet from initiating connections with the instances.
Enable this integration to see all your NAT Gateway metrics in Datadog.
If you haven’t already, set up the Amazon Web Services integration first.
NATGateway is enabled under the Metric Collection tab.Configure Amazon NAT Gateway to send logs either to a S3 bucket or to CloudWatch.
Note: If you log to a S3 bucket, make sure that amazon_nat_gateway is set as Target prefix.
If you haven’t already, set up the Datadog Forwarder Lambda function.
Once the Lambda function is installed, manually add a trigger on the S3 bucket or CloudWatch log group that contains your Amazon NAT Gateway logs in the AWS console:
