# Integrations

This page covers Datadog-supported OpenTelemetry (OTel) integrations. These integrations allow you to collect and monitor your observability data using OpenTelemetry in Datadog.

## Overview{% #overview %}

OpenTelemetry (OTel) integrations are components that enable the collection of observability data (metrics, traces, and logs) from various sources using the OpenTelemetry standard. These integrations are designed to work with the OpenTelemetry Collector, which receives, processes, and exports telemetry data to observability backends like Datadog.

For a comprehensive list of all OpenTelemetry integrations, see the [OpenTelemetry Registry](https://opentelemetry.io/ecosystem/registry/). This registry provides information on receivers, exporters, and other components in the OpenTelemetry ecosystem.

## Metric pricing{% #metric-pricing %}

Datadog collects metrics from supported OpenTelemetry receivers at no extra cost. These no-cost metrics are:

- Defined in the `metadata.yaml` file for each receiver.
- Listed in the [Metrics Mappings](https://docs.datadoghq.com/opentelemetry/mapping/metrics_mapping/#metrics-mappings) table.

For example, the [`dockerstatsreceiver`](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-collector-contrib/blob/main/receiver/dockerstatsreceiver/metadata.yaml) `metadata.yaml` file lists metrics that you can collect at no extra cost.

{% alert level="danger" %}
Ensure that you configure receivers according to OpenTelemetry receiver documentation. Incorrectly configured receivers may cause metrics to be classified as custom, resulting in additional charges.
