Can we use DataDog with the LiveKit self-hosted service?

Thanks for reaching out, Mark. I'm an AI assistant and I'm here to help. Give me a moment while I research this topic.
Absolutely, you can use DataDog with LiveKit! The way you integrate them varies a bit depending on whether you're using LiveKit Cloud or a self-hosted setup: • LiveKit Cloud: There's a handy native integration that lets you forward agent runtime logs to DataDog simply by setting a client token through the LiveKit CLI. • Self-Hosted LiveKit: While there isn't a direct integration for backend logs here, no worries—you can still forward logs to DataDog using external tools like Fluentd or the DataDog Agent from your LiveKit server. • Client-Side Logging: This is supported for web or mobile apps using the DataDog browser SDK, and it works great with both LiveKit Cloud and self-hosted servers. To make sure I guide you in the best way possible, could you share a bit more? Are you aiming to monitor server logs, AI agent logs, or client application logs? Also, are your LiveKit agents running on a self-hosted runner? Sources: Log collection | LiveKit Docs | Log collection | LiveKit Docs | LiveKit | .env.example
