Likewise for New Relic. Unfortunately OTel and everything similar doesn't remotely come close to the usability and ease of configuration that New Relic does. Not yet, anyway...

Ideally you just implement OTel into your apps and later plug that into any metric/log/trace collector you want, so you have DataDog and Newrelic and other frontends competing based on their feature suite and price.
As it stands, this was/is trying to use DataDog's existing APM libraries to turn them into OTel for ingest into other providers.
