What Grafana version and what operating system are you using?
Grafana v9.2.4 on a self-hosted Linux environment.
What are you trying to achieve?
We are migrating from Datadog to a self-hosted Grafana + VictoriaMetrics + VictoriaLogs + Tempo + OpenTelemetry stack. We currently has several dashboards in Datadog, and we are looking for the best way to move or recreate them in Grafana with minimal manual effort. Out client apps are currently using DDStatsD client SDK for sending custom metrics, which are sent to VictoriaMetrics via Otel → statsD receiver.
How are you trying to achieve it?
Is there any known/best way to migrate Datadog dashboards to Grafana? So, far, I thought of manual migration with the help of ChatGPT but it will take lot of time as we have hundreds of panels in each dashboard.
What happened?
We haven’t found a straightforward migration path yet. Queries in Datadog don’t translate directly to Grafana datasources (Prometheus/VM), so it seems like significant manual work is involved. We are trying to understand if the community has tools, scripts, or best practices for this migration, or if others have gone through the same process and can share lessons learned.
