Unify your OpenTelemetry and Datadog experience with the embedded OTel Collector in the Agent

Jun 26, 2024 By Lutao Xie In Datadog
OpenTelemetry (OTel) is an open source, vendor-neutral observability solution that consists of a suite of components—including APIs, SDKs, and the OTel Collector—that allow teams to monitor their applications and services in a standardized format. OTel defines this data via the OpenTelemetry Protocol (OTLP), a standard for the encoding and transfer of telemetry data that organizations can use to collect, process, and export telemetry and route it to observability backends, such as Datadog.

SLOs 101: How to establish and define service level objectives

Jun 24, 2024 By Mark Azer In Datadog
In recent years, organizations have increasingly adopted service level objectives, or SLOs, as a fundamental part of their site reliability engineering (SRE) practice. Best practices around SLOs have been pioneered by Google—the Google SRE book and a webinar that we jointly hosted with Google both provide great introductions to this concept. In essence, SLOs are rooted in the idea that service reliability and user happiness go hand in hand.

Troubleshoot infrastructure faster with Recent Changes

Jun 21, 2024 By Sriram Raman In Datadog
Infrastructure changes often trigger incidents, but troubleshooting these incidents is challenging when responders have to navigate through multiple tools to correlate telemetry with configuration changes. This lack of unified observability leads to longer mean time to resolution (MTTR), greater operational stress, and ultimately, negative business outcomes.
