Research direction

Start by reading the Datadog Agent and Cluster Agent documentation alongside the linked Prometheus Pushgateway project. Determine where an in-cluster Kubernetes endpoint would belong and how batch workloads would push metrics over a reliable transport. Done means the chosen agent exposes and documents a Pushgateway-like endpoint with a defined metric-delivery behavior.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

kind/feature oss/2 team/agent-metric-pipelines

On certain managed Kubernetes offerings, UDP based delivery is quite unreliable. It would be great if the Datadog Agent or the Datadog Cluster Agent offers an endpoint to push metrics over more reliable transport protocols.

An ideal way is to offer a Prometheus PushGateway like offering baked into the agent where in-cluster batch workloads in Kubernetes can push metrics to.
