# Integrating with Observability and Big Data Platforms

This guide explains how to integrate ThousandEyes OpenTelemetry streams with different observability platforms. It includes platform-specific instructions for using both the UI and API, as well as key setup considerations.

## Supported Platforms

ThousandEyes OpenTelemetry integrates with any observability platform such as the following:

* [Datadog](https://docs.thousandeyes.com/product-documentation/integration-guides/opentelemetry/observability-platforms/datadog)
* [Splunk Cloud Platform and Splunk Enterprise](https://docs.thousandeyes.com/product-documentation/integration-guides/opentelemetry/observability-platforms/splunk-cloud-or-enterprise)
* [Splunk Observability Cloud](https://docs.thousandeyes.com/product-documentation/integration-guides/opentelemetry/observability-platforms/splunk-observability-cloud)
* [Dynatrace](https://docs.thousandeyes.com/product-documentation/integration-guides/opentelemetry/observability-platforms/dynatrace)
* [Elastic](https://docs.thousandeyes.com/product-documentation/integration-guides/opentelemetry/observability-platforms/elastic)
* [Grafana](https://docs.thousandeyes.com/product-documentation/integration-guides/opentelemetry/observability-platforms/grafana)
* [Honeycomb](https://docs.thousandeyes.com/product-documentation/integration-guides/opentelemetry/observability-platforms/honeycomb)
* [New Relic](https://docs.thousandeyes.com/product-documentation/integration-guides/opentelemetry/observability-platforms/new-relic)
* [ServiceNow Cloud Observability (Formerly Lightstep)](https://docs.thousandeyes.com/product-documentation/integration-guides/opentelemetry/observability-platforms/servicenow-cloud-observability)
* [SigNoz](https://docs.thousandeyes.com/product-documentation/integration-guides/opentelemetry/observability-platforms/signoz)

## General Setup Instructions

### Create a Test

1. On the ThousandEyes platform, go to **Network & App Synthetics > Test Settings > Tests** and click **+**. If you don’t see this button, check that you have permission to create and edit test configurations.
2. Select **Web** as the **Layer** and **Page Load** as the **Test Type**.
3. Enter a **Test Name** and **Test Description**.
4. Enter the **URL** of the destination you want to test.
5. Set the test **Interval** to **1 minute**.
6. Select at least one **Agent**.
7. Click **Create New Test** to save and begin running the new page load test immediately.

### Analyze the Test Results

The **Page Load** test provides data across multiple layers:

Page Load Metrics

* **Page Load Time**
* **Errors & Timeouts**
* **Completion Status**

HTTP Server Metrics

* **Availability**
* **Throughput**
* **Response Time**

Network Agent to Server Metrics

* **Loss**
* **Latency**
* **Jitter**

Now it's the time to send all the metrics above to your observability backend.
