+# Datadog Agent
+
+## Network Monitoring
+
+[Remedy Ticket](https://remedy.census.gov/smartit/app/#/incident/IDGAA5V0FRB8NAS9442GS834U9J61Q)
+
+```script
+Please see list of EKS clusters that need to have Datadog network monitoring setting disabled
+https://uscensus.sharepoint.com/:x:/t/csvd/Datadog/ERCJe8gBBGFPmOIdKaRLtsEBJci4u4xgRhXuwbq30rHNPA
+
+Datadog contacted me to let me know that Network monitoring isnt on our contract and we're currently paying on demand hours for this hosts to use NPM (Network Performance Monitoring). 
+https://github.e.it.census.gov/terraform/412187151792-ma9-gov/blob/034ca14377695e392568d9713bcef1d4079514e1/vpc/east/vpc2/apps/eks-csvd-datadog-poc/common-services/datadog-agent/datadog.values.yml#L31
+
+EKS Done via Terraform (SCT)
+"EKS - Please disable networkMonitoring from 'enabled:  true' to 'enabled:  false' in datadog.values.yml on the provided list of EKS clusters. 
+Restart the Datadog Agent for settings to take effect. 
+Please start with csvd-datadog-poc to ensure successful test.
+Please ensure the customer is not also doing work at the same time to avoid intersecting audit logs.
+
+networkMonitoring:
+  enabled:  false"
+```
+
+# CHANGELOG
+
+* 1.0.0 -- 2024-09-09
+  - add network monitoring disable to doc
