A **trace** event can be thought of as a special kind of log event. The components that support trace events are: the `datadog_agent` source, the `datadog_traces` sink, and the `sample` and `remap` transforms. **Note**: Support for traces is limited and is in alpha.

If you’re interested in using traces with a Vector component that doesn’t yet support them,

please check the list of open issues [here](https://github.com/vectordotdev/vector/issues?q=is%3Aissue+state%3Aopen+label%3A%22domain%3A%20traces%22).
