Problem

I would like to configure vector to route traffic to Datadog’s PrivateLink offering in us-east-1 from other regions using VPC Peering. I've configured datadog_metrics with endpoint = "https://metrics.agent.datadoghq.com/api/v1/series" and verified my test metrics are flowing through my pipeline in the trace logs (as per previous advice https://github.com/vectordotdev/vector/issues/21325#issuecomment-2371932508) as well as vector taping into my pipeline. Moreover, my VPC endpoint is correctly reporting traffic for my test metrics:

However, the test metrics are either being dropped by Datadog's VPC Endpoint Service or by Datadog itself.

Configuration

[sinks.datadog_metrics_sink_4]
type = "datadog_metrics"
inputs = ["remap_fanout_del_4"]
default_api_key = "${DD_API_KEY}"
batch.timeout_secs = 5
batch.max_events = 2000
buffer.max_events = 200000
request.concurrency = "adaptive"
endpoint = "https://metrics.agent.datadoghq.com/api/v1/series"

Version

vector 0.39.0 (x86_64-unknown-linux-musl 73da9bb 2024-06-17 16:00:23.791735272)

I also cut a ticket to Datadog support (id: 1937927) as I'm unsure if this issue lies in vector or in Datadog. Apologies in advance if vector is working correctly.
