Migrating from other vendors becomes a lot easier with OpenTelemetry and Grafana Alloy, our distribution of the OpenTelemetry Collector. But when you come from platforms that use different temporalities, such as Datadog or Dynatrace, you face a challenge integrating with a Prometheus-like ecosystem such as Grafana Cloud: Your metrics still mean the same as before, but they just don’t look right.

Managing observability workloads can quickly overwhelm even the most experienced admin. Maybe you’re dealing with multiple departments, each needing its own collector configurations and pipelines. Every time you have to run a test or roll out a change, the process is cumbersome and introduces risk. Or perhaps you’re responsible for tracking hundreds of collectors across different environments and regions. In a scenario like this, troubleshooting individual issues feels nearly impossible.

We’re thrilled to share that the open source Yet Another CloudWatch Exporter (YACE) is now a prometheus-community project!
