# Serverless Monitoring for Azure Event Hubs

## Overview{% #overview %}

Datadog APM uses **inferred spans** to collect traces and trace metrics from Azure Event Hubs. These spans are generated by the Datadog tracers SDKs and appear directly in flame graph and waterfall views.

Python and Node.js support producers; .NET supports both producers and consumers. Event Hubs distributed tracing requires no additional setup beyond existing instrumentation for APM users.
