OpenTelemetry is an observability framework for cloud-native software. It is used to instrument frameworks and components and export telemetry data (traces, metrics, and logs) for analysis to gain insights into your software's performance and behavior.

Dynatrace is a key contributor to this open source project. To learn more about Dynatrace OpenTelemetry support, see OpenTelemetry and Dynatrace.

Scenarios for OpenTelemetry metric ingestion

You can send metrics to Dynatrace via:

  • An OTLP (OpenTelemetry Protocol) metrics exporter directly to Dynatrace, see Dynatrace OTLP API endpoints.
  • An OTLP (OpenTelemetry Protocol) metrics exporter to an OTel Collector, see OTel Collector for ingesting telemetry into Dynatrace.
