Apache Web Server Metrics
Overview
The Apache receiver allows for collection of Apache Web Server metrics. Configure the receiver according to the specifications of the latest version of the apachereceiver.
For more information, see the OpenTelemetry project documentation for the Apache receiver.
Setup
To collect Apache Web Server metrics with OpenTelemetry for use with Datadog:
- Configure the Apache receiver in your OpenTelemetry Collector configuration.
- Ensure the OpenTelemetry Collector is configured to export to Datadog.
See the Apache receiver documentation for detailed configuration options and requirements.
