# ThousandEyes for OpenTelemetry Data Models

This section describes how ThousandEyes represents telemetry data in the OpenTelemetry (OTel) format.

ThousandEyes for OpenTelemetry supports the following data model versions:

* [**Data Model Version 2**](https://docs.thousandeyes.com/product-documentation/integration-guides/opentelemetry/data-model/data-model-v2) is the default and recommended version for exporting telemetry data. OpenTelemetry trace and log signals require version 2.
* [**Data Model Version 1**](https://docs.thousandeyes.com/product-documentation/integration-guides/opentelemetry/data-model/data-model-v1) is available for metric streams to Grafana and Prometheus when you cannot configure resource attribute promotion.
