OpenTelemetry is an open source toolset that provides visibility into cloud-native applications by collecting metrics, traces, and logs from various languages and exporting them to a backend of choice. Datadog supports OpenTelemetry and offers the Datadog Exporter for users to maximize its benefits. The latest update allows forwarding logs to Datadog for deep insights into application usage, performance, and security.
