Translate Datadog Metrics into OTLP

Today we are releasing new open source code for the OpenTelemetry Datadog receiver that allows users to translate Datadog metric formats into native OTLP format. The code is available in Grafana Alloy as experimental, and we have started submitting it to the OpenTelemetry project.

As we expect this code to change based on community review and feedback, this feature is marked as experimental in Grafana Alloy. Once our code has been merged into OpenTelemetry’s upstream main branch, we will update and release it as stable within Grafana Alloy as well. These migrations are led by our dedicated Professional Services team and can vastly shorten the amount of time needed to move an organization with a large investment in Datadog to Grafana Cloud.
