Contributing

Community contributions to the Datadog Opentelemetry Exporter library for JS are welcome! See below for some basic guidelines.

Want to request a new feature?

Many great ideas for new features come from the community, and we'd be happy to consider yours!

To share your request, you can open a Github issue with the details about what you'd like to see. At a minimum, please provide:

  • The goal of the new feature
  • A description of how it might be used or behave
  • Links to any important resources (e.g. Github repos, websites, screenshots, specifications, diagrams)

Additionally, if you can, include:

  • A description of how it could be accomplished
  • Code snippets that might demonstrate its use or implementation
  • Screenshots or mockups that visually demonstrate the feature
  • Links to similar features that would serve as a good comparison
  • (Any other details that would be useful for implementing this feature!)

Found a bug?

For any urgent matters (such as outages) or issues concerning the Datadog service or UI, contact our support team via https://docs.datadoghq.com/help/ for direct, faster assistance.
