Stanley Liu announces that OpenTelemetry (OTel) is now supported in Datadog for the ingestion and visualization of runtime metrics from OTel-instrumented applications in Java, .NET, and Go. This integration allows users to gain additional insights into their applications' resource usage, such as memory usage, garbage collection, parallelization, and more. By sending runtime metrics from OTel-instrumented services to Datadog, users can get comprehensive visibility into all their applications, regardless of whether they are instrumented with Datadog or OTel SDKs. The integration enables users to visualize and monitor runtime metrics in context with other data from their applications, providing a single lens for optimizing application performance through insights such as memory usage, garbage collection, and parallelization.
