Boomi introduced native OpenTelemetry (OTel) support in September 2025, enabling export of traces, logs, and metrics from Boomi Atoms via OTLP. This guide covers how to connect Boomi to Datadog using the Datadog Distribution of the OpenTelemetry Collector (DDOT), which provides infrastructure correlation, APM stats, and fleet management out of the box. Adding the Datadog Java tracer (dd-java-agent) on top unlocks JVM-level visibility including continuous profiling, dynamic instrumentation, and Database Monitoring correlation — without modifying any existing Boomi flows. The combination enables end-to-end correlation from Boomi process execution to JVM performance to database query analysis, plus natively correlated logs and operational dashboards.
