Ingestion with Datadog Agent

If you use the Datadog Agent to send data to Datadog, you can send the same data to Phoebe by installing and configuring the Phoebe Distribution for OpenTelemetry (PDOT), for example in a sidecar container. You can then configure the Datadog Agent to dual-ship to PDOT, and configure PDOT to forward data to Phoebe.
  1. Install PDOT (e.g., as a sidecar container)
  2. Update your Datadog Agent configuration to forward data to your local PDOT instance. Follow the Datadog integration documentation in the PDOT repo. See also examples in the repo.
  3. Configure PDOT to send data to Phoebe using the instructions in the OpenTelemetry integration guide.
