Overview

This page provides guides for installing and configuring a standalone OpenTelemetry Collector to send telemetry data to Datadog.

This method is best for users who prefer to use OTel Collector distributions from the OpenTelemetry open source community or require advanced processing capabilities not available in other setups. For most use cases the Datadog Distribution of OTel Collector (DDOT) is the recommended approach.

Setup

To begin, install the OpenTelemetry Collector and configure it with the Datadog Exporter. This guide walks you through the initial setup required before proceeding to more specific configuration topics.

Install and Configure the Collector

Follow the initial setup steps to get a Collector running with the Datadog Exporter.

Configuration

After your Collector is running, use these guides to configure specific receivers and processors to collect and enrich your telemetry data.

Deploy the Collector

Learn how to run the Collector in various environments, including on a host, in Docker, or as a DaemonSet or Gateway in Kubernetes.

Configure Hostname and Tagging

Use resource detection and Kubernetes attributes processors to ensure proper hostname resolution and apply critical tags for correlating telemetry in Datadog.

Set up Log Collection

Configure the filelog receiver to collect logs from files and forward them to Datadog, enabling unified logs, metrics, and traces.

Enable the OTLP Receiver

Configure the OTLP receiver to accept traces, metrics, and logs from your OpenTelemetry-instrumented applications over gRPC or HTTP.

Tune Batch and Memory Settings

Optimize your Collector's performance and resource consumption by configuring the batch processor and memory limiter.
