Hello @changhyuni,

Thanks for reaching out to us.

Traefik v3 uses OpenTelemetry, an open standard designed for distributed tracing.

The documentation is for Traefik v3 is available here.

The link you shared is Traefik v2.10 documentation the latest stable version. Traefik v3 is still in beta for now.

In the following link, you will find information about Opentelemetry and Datadog. Traefik is using the OTEL Library and not the dd-trace library.

You can setup OTLP ingestion for your DataDog agents by following the documentation here. Then just configure Traefik to export its OTLP data to the endpoint the DataDog agent provides.
