Feedback

Issue

otelcol.receiver.datadog support receiving both metrics and traces.
However, Current Alloy doc describing details on receiving metrics and traces from Datadog agent only include configuration required for Datadog metrics.

Suggestion

Following Datadog documentation on dual shipping, users need to specify DD_APM_ADDITIONAL_ENDPOINTS environment variable in order to forward APM traces data.
Therefore, recommend to call this out under the current Alloy doc section

Hi, @alfredo-d 👋 What does the value of DD_APM_ADDITIONAL_ENDPOINTS look like?

Is it something like tihs:

DD_APM_ADDITIONAL_ENDPOINTS='{"http://<DATADOG_RECEIVER_HOST>:<DATADOG_RECEIVER_PORT>": ["datadog-receiver"]}'

Heya @ptodev , yes the format is the same as DD_ADDITIONAL_ENDPOINTS examples.
