Overview

The Datadog receiver enables translation between Datadog and OpenTelemetry-compatible backends. It currently has support for Datadog's APM traces and Datadog metrics.

Configuration

Configuration wise is very simple, just need to specify where the Datadog receiver should listen and the read timeout.

Then, the receiver must be configured in the pipeline where it will be used.

receivers:
  datadog:
    endpoint: localhost:8126
    read_timeout: 60s

exporters:
  debug:

service:
  pipelines:
    metrics:
      receivers: [datadog]
      exporters: [debug]
    traces:
      receivers: [datadog]
      exporters: [debug]

read_timeout (Optional)

The read timeout of the HTTP Server

Default: 60s

Temporality considerations

Some backends use a different timestamp temporality than Datadog uses. Both delta and cumulative temporalities are allowed in the spec. In order to store metrics on these backends, the receiver will need to translate the timestamps. For backends that use cumulative temporality, a delta to cumulative processor can be configured in the pipeline.

Overview

Package datadogreceiver ingests traces in the Datadog APM format and translates them OpenTelemetry for collector usage
