I would love to save a few hundred thousands a year by running Otel collector over Datadog agents, just on the cost-per-host alone. Unfortunately that would also mean giving up Datatog APM and NPM, as far as I can tell, which have been really valuable. Going back to just metrics and traces would feel like quite the step backwards and be a hard sell.
- arccy 3y agoyou can submit opentelemetry traces to datadog which should be the equivalent of apm/npm, though maybe with a less polished integration.
- nevon 3y agoJust traces are a long way off from APM and NPM. APM gives me the ability to debug memory leaks from continuous heap snapshots, or performance issues through CPU profiling. NPM is almost like having tcpdump running constantly, showing me where there's packet loss or other forms of connectivity issues.
- porker 3y agoThank you for sharing this, I've had "look at tracing" on my to do list for months and assumed it was identical to APM. It seems it won't be a direct substitute, which helps explain the cost difference.
