Datadog products and visualizations are built on metrics and tags that adhere to specific naming patterns. Metrics from OpenTelemetry components that are sent to Datadog are mapped to corresponding Datadog metrics, as applicable. The creation of these additional metrics does not affect Datadog billing.

The following diagram shows the process of mapping the metrics from OpenTelemetry into metrics that Datadog uses:

{{< img src="opentelemetry/guide/metrics_mapping/otel-mapping-metrics.png" alt="The decision process for mapping OpenTelemetry metric names to Datadog metric names.

Otherwise, a Datadog-style metric is created from the OTel metric and sent to Datadog." style="width:100%;" >}}

Datadog products and visualizations are built on metrics and tags that follow specific naming patterns. Therefore, Datadog maps incoming OpenTelemetry metrics to the appropriate Datadog metric format. This mapping process may create additional metrics, but these do not affect Datadog billing.

## How OpenTelemetry metrics appear in Datadog

-
To differentiate the metrics captured by the `hostmetrics` receiver from Datadog Agent, we add a prefix, `otel`, for metrics collected by the collector. If a metric name starts with `system.` or `process.`, `otel.` is prepended to the metric name. Monitoring the same infrastructure artifact using both Agent and Collector is not recommended.

To differentiate metrics from the OpenTelemetry Collector's [hostmetrics][12] receiver and the Datadog Agent, Datadog prepends `otel.` to any received metric that starts with `system.` or `process.`. Datadog does not recommend monitoring the same infrastructure with both the Datadog Agent and the OpenTelemetry Collector
