The [IIS receiver](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-collector-contrib/tree/main/receiver/iisreceiver) allows for collection of IIS (Internet Information Services) metrics and access to the [IIS Overview](https://app.datadoghq.com/screen/integration/243/iis---overview) dashboard. Configure the receiver according to the specifications of the latest version of the `iisreceiver`.

For more information, see the OpenTelemetry project documentation for the [IIS receiver](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-collector-contrib/tree/main/receiver/iisreceiver).

## Setup{% #setup %}

To collect IIS metrics with OpenTelemetry for use with Datadog:

1. Configure the [IIS receiver](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-collector-contrib/tree/main/receiver/iisreceiver) in your OpenTelemetry Collector configuration.
1. Ensure the OpenTelemetry Collector is [configured to export to Datadog](https://docs.datadoghq.com/opentelemetry/setup/collector_exporter/).

See the [IIS receiver documentation](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-collector-contrib/tree/main/receiver/iisreceiver) for detailed configuration options and requirements.
