Netdata migration

This skill guides a migration from another observability vendor's metric pipeline to Netdata. The goal is OpenTelemetry-native instrumentation that exports to Netdata over OTLP/gRPC, with existing dashboards and alerts rebuilt on the Netdata side where parity is possible.

When to use this skill

• The user is actively cutting over from a vendor SDK (Datadog, New Relic, Dynatrace) to OpenTelemetry + Netdata.
• The user has a Prometheus scrape pipeline and wants to reuse it while adding Netdata ingestion.
• The user wants to know which signals from the old vendor have a one-to-one analogue in Netdata.
