Dual-Shipping Without Duplicates
Dual-ship telemetry to two backends to validate a migration — without double-counting hosts, doubling metrics or duplicating every log line.

Replace Filebeat, Metricbeat and Fleet-managed Elastic Agent with OTel Collectors and OpAMP — keeping Elasticsearch and Kibana while you dual-run.
Reduce Dynatrace dependency with OpenTelemetry: run OTel alongside OneAgent, validate signal parity, escape host-unit and DDU pricing.
Replace universal and heavy forwarders and HEC with OTel Collectors, keep Splunk as a destination while you dual-run, and move cost off per-GB.
Replace New Relic APM and Infrastructure agents with OTel SDKs and Collectors, keep New Relic over OTLP while you dual-run, then cut the bill.
Step by step: replace the Datadog Agent with OTel Collectors, dual-ship to compare, then cut the per-host and per-GB bill before ingest.
OpenTelemetry replaces collection and transport, not your backend. What it takes over cleanly, what you must rebuild, and how to scope a migration.
