This recipe ships data emitted by msb-metrics. See the msb-metrics page for the flag reference, metric names, and deployment constraints.
The recommended path is to point msb-metrics at the Datadog Agent with OTLP ingestion enabled. The agent handles temporality conversion, metric translation, and shipping to Datadog’s backend.
1

Enable OTLP on the Datadog Agent

Edit datadog.yaml to enable the OTLP receiver on standard ports:
otlp_config:
  receiver:
    protocols:
      grpc:
        endpoint: 0.0.0.0:4317
      http:
        endpoint: 0.0.0.0:4318
Restart the agent.
2

Point msb-metrics at the agent

msb-metrics otel --endpoint=http://localhost:4317
3

Verify

Boot a sandbox and open Datadog → Metrics → Explorer. Query microsandbox.cpu.utilization. Sandbox identity (sandbox.name, sandbox.id) and any resource attributes (service.name, etc.) appear as tags.

​
Direct OTLP intake

Datadog also exposes a direct OTLP HTTP intake at https://otlp.datadoghq.com/v1/metrics (region-specific) that avoids the agent. It expects delta temporality for metrics, while msb-metrics emits cumulative values, so direct intake needs a temporality conversion step. If you need direct intake, put an otel-collector with the cumulativetodelta processor between msb-metrics and Datadog. Otherwise, stick with the agent path above, which converts temporality for you.
