Garrison Stauffer developed cost-aware NetFlow data control features in the DataDog/datadog-agent repository, introducing configurable throttling to manage event volume and prioritize high-byte flows for improved cost governance. He implemented Top-N Flows logic and enhanced the agent’s configurability, leveraging Go for robust backend and network programming. In DataDog/integrations-core, Garrison contributed to the General Availability rollout for Cisco ACI, SD-WAN, and Versa integrations, clarifying billing implications for users. He also addressed a scheduler bug in NetFlow data collection, ensuring reliable aggregation and flush timing, and added targeted tests to validate these behaviors, demonstrating thoroughness in integration management and testing.
