Send metrics and traces from OpenTelemetry Collector to Datadog via Datadog Exporter
OpenTelemetry is an open source observability framework that provides tools, APIs, and SDKs to collect and standardize telemetry data from cloud-native applications and services. The key component of OpenTelemetry is the OpenTelemetry Collector, which receives and processes data before using exporters to route it to the destinations of your choice. Datadog has released the general availability of the OpenTelemetry Collector Datadog Exporter for metrics and traces, enabling users to send OpenTelemetry data directly to Datadog alongside other third-party observability tools. The Datadog Exporter can be easily installed by adding a few lines to your config file and supports sending infrastructure metrics and traces from applications to Datadog for visualization and analysis.
