  Configure the Datadog Agent to send telemetry data to Cloud Observability.

• Ingest traces from the Datadog Agent

  Configure the Datadog Agent to send traces to Cloud Observability.

• Install the OpenTelemetry Collector on Kubernetes

  Install an OpenTelemetry Collector on Kubernetes to begin collecting application and infrastructure metrics

• Integrations

  Cloud Observability integrates with leading cloud-native technologies, metrics producers, service meshes for microservices, and enterprise data visualization and collaboration tools. These turnkey integrations make it easy to deploy Cloud Observability across large-scale production systems so users get the unrivaled performance insights it provides when they need it and as part of their standard, established workflows.

• Manage metric details

  View and edit metric details to better understand and interpret data.

• Metric naming rules

  Follow these rules when naming metrics or attributes.

• Monitor Kubernetes applications

  Cloud Observability can ingest Kubernetes infrastructure and application metrics using the OpenTelemetry Collector and Operator. If you're currently using Prometheus from metrics, you can also choose to replace those with the Collector and Operator.

• Monitor span data with Streams

  Create Streams to view historical span and trace data and monitor your services.

• Prometheus concepts in Cloud Observability

  How do Prometheus metrics translate to Cloud Observability metrics?

• Query your data

  Query logs, metrics, and spans in Cloud Observability using the Unified Query Builder or Unified Query Language.

  When you want to build more sophisticated queries against your metric data, you can use Cloud Observability's Unified Query Language (UQL) to create your queries.

• UQL reference

  Full reference guide for Cloud Observability's Unified Query Language (UQL).

• UQL: contains

  contains checks whether an attribute's value includes a certain substring

• UQL: defined

  defined checks to see if an attribute is present on a metric or span

• UQL: join

  An in-depth description of UQL join stage

  Learn how Cloud Observability retains data and about the retention periods for logs, metrics, and traces.

• Use UQL to create advanced queries

  Learn how Cloud Observability's Unified Query Language (UQL) works to query metric and span data from the telemetry database.

• Use dashboard workflow links

  Dashboard workflow links allow you to add links from a dashboard to external applications or sites (like Slack or GitHub) or to other places in Cloud Observability. Like the workflow links used on the Trace view, these links can take attributes as values in the link, allowing you to scope the link for context. In addition, they can also use template variables allowing you to carry context over to another dashboard. You can create links for a dashboard or for a single panel.

• Use dependency maps

  You can add dependency maps to your dashboards and notebooks that allow you to view services and operations in context of each other, both up and downstream.
