Summary
OpenTelemetry (OTel) is an open-source observability solution that provides components to collect and communicate telemetry data from cloud-native applications and services. Datadog Agent now supports the ingestion of OTLP logs, in addition to traces and metrics, allowing teams to consolidate all OTel data through a single mechanism. This unified approach simplifies the telemetry data collection process and reduces administrative overhead. The Agent also offers advanced log processing capabilities, such as filtering, scrubbing, and multi-line aggregation, enhancing observability and ensuring high security of log data.
