Overview
The Podman receiver collects metrics that populate the Containers - Overview dashboard. Configure the receiver according to the specifications of the latest version of the podmanreceiver.
This dashboard displays metrics from all container runtimes. To view your Podman data, use the runtime template variable at the top of the dashboard to select podman.
For more information, see the OpenTelemetry project documentation for the Podman receiver.
Setup
To collect Podman metrics with OpenTelemetry for use with Datadog:
- Configure the Podman receiver in your OpenTelemetry Collector configuration.
- Ensure the OpenTelemetry Collector is configured to export to Datadog.
See the Podman receiver documentation for detailed configuration options and requirements.
