Today, Datadog metric collection from Harness requires application teams to manually include a DPE-provided template stage in every pipeline. Braintree does not use a centralized pipeline framework — teams build their own pipelines. Any team that omits the template stage produces no DORA or pipeline health metrics. decentralized structure, incomplete metrics are structurally guaranteed under the current model — there is no enforcement mechanism. 'Harness has no native capability for this today — teams must add the template.' A Datadog integration call was already scheduled for the week of Apr 20 — this item was flagged as formal intake. We need account-level or org-level metric emission from Harness with zero per-pipeline template requirement. Every pipeline execution within the PayPal account should automatically emit to Datadog without any team action: — Pipeline start, end, duration per stage/step — Pass/fail outcome — Queue time — Executor identity This must be a one-time platform-level configuration by DPE — not a per-pipeline obligation on application teams. Delivered via Harness webhook/event stream, OpenMetrics endpoint, or native Datadog forwarder. Note: FR-8 covers the general Harness → Datadog integration gap. FR-13 specifically removes the template dependency.
