Overview
Orbit CI provides observability for CI/CD pipelines using eBPF to collect low-level build telemetry. It captures data on runs, jobs, steps, and processes (including duration, status, memory, disk, and network usage) to help teams identify performance bottlenecks, recurring failures, and regressions across repositories.
This integration publishes this telemetry as metrics in Datadog, enabling teams to monitor CI performance alongside infrastructure and application data, and correlate build behavior with system health within a unified observability platform.
Setup
In Datadog, navigate to Integrations, select the Orbit CI tile, and click Install Integration.
Click Connect Accounts to start the authorization process. You will be redirected to Orbit CI to complete the setup.
