Observability Pipelines is not available on the US1-FED Datadog site.

If you upgrade your OP Workers version 1.8 or below to version 2.0 or above, your existing pipelines will break. Do not upgrade your OP Workers if you want to continue using OP Workers version 1.8 or below. If you want to use OP Worker 2.0 or above, you must migrate your OP Worker 1.8 or earlier pipelines to OP Worker 2.x.

Datadog recommends that you update to OP Worker versions 2.0 or above. Upgrading to a major OP Worker version and keeping it updated is the only supported way to get the latest OP Worker functionality, fixes, and security updates.
This guide is for large-scale production-level deployments.
