OpenTelemetry Java Runtime Metrics

Docs > OpenTelemetry in Datadog > Integrations > OpenTelemetry Runtime Metrics > OpenTelemetry Java Runtime Metrics

Prerequisites

You are successfully sending OpenTelemetry metrics to Datadog.
You have installed the language integration for Java.

OpenTelemetry SDK configuration

If you have instrumented your Java applications with OpenTelemetry automatic instrumentation, runtime metrics are automatically enabled.

If you have instrumented your Java application with OpenTelemetry manual instrumentation, see the following guides for your Java version:

Runtime metric mappings

The following table lists the Datadog runtime metrics that are supported by mapping OpenTelemetry runtime metrics, with “N/A” indicating that there is no OpenTelemetry counterpart.

Datadog metric	Description	OpenTelemetry counterpart
`jvm.heap_memory`	The total Java heap memory used.	`process.runtime.jvm.memory.usage` `jvm.memory.used`
`jvm.heap_memory_committed`	The total Java heap memory committed to be used.	`process.runtime.jvm.memory.committed` `jvm.memory.committed`
`jvm.heap_memory_init`	The initial Java heap memory allocated.	`process.runtime.jvm.memory.init` `jvm.memory.init`
`jvm.heap_memory_max`	The maximum Java heap memory available.	`process.runtime.jvm.memory.limit` `jvm.memory.limit`
`jvm.non_heap_memory`	The total Java non-heap memory used. Non-heap memory is: `Metaspace + CompressedClassSpace + CodeCache`.	`process.runtime.jvm.memory.usage` `jvm.memory.used`
