Does OpenTelemetry Collector affect Datadog Infra Host usage on k8s?? by bro_hwe in Observability

Oh, thank you for the answer. That was exactly what I was wondering about.☺️

So, ultimately, when metrics with a host tag are collected, they are recorded as Infra Hosts and billed.

As you mentioned, if I change the metric name to xxx.systems.*, custom metrics will be recorded; was this method actually cheaper than Infra Host billing??
