datadog

Overview ¶

Package datadog provides a Datadog observability provider for observops. It uses OpenTelemetry Protocol (OTLP) to send telemetry data to Datadog via the Datadog Agent or directly to Datadog's OTLP endpoints.

Usage ¶

import (
	"github.com/agentplexus/omniobserve/observops"
	_ "github.com/agentplexus/omniobserve/observops/datadog"
)

provider, err := observops.Open("datadog",
	observops.WithEndpoint("localhost:4317"), // Datadog Agent OTLP endpoint
	observops.WithServiceName("my-service"),
)

Configuration ¶

When using the Datadog Agent (recommended):

• Endpoint: localhost:4317 (default) for gRPC or localhost:4318 for HTTP
• Ensure the Datadog Agent has OTLP ingestion enabled

When sending directly to Datadog:

• Endpoint: Use Datadog's intake endpoint for your region
• API Key: Your Datadog API key

Environment Variables ¶

Standard OpenTelemetry environment variables are respected:

• OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_ENDPOINT
• OTEL_SERVICE_NAME
• DD_SITE (for direct ingestion: datadoghq.com, datadoghq.eu, etc.)
• DD_API_KEY (for direct ingestion)

Datadog Agent Configuration ¶

Enable OTLP ingestion in your datadog.yaml:

otlp_config:
  receiver:
    protocols:
      grpc:
        endpoint: 0.0.0.0:4317
      http:
        endpoint: 0.0.0.0:4318
