OpenTelemetry data can be ingested using the following services:
The SaaS endpoint provides the easiest ingest option, as you only need to configure your application for a standard OTLP export and do not require other installed components or services.
See Export to ActiveGate for more details.
Export to the Collector if you want an intermediate service layer for data collection, protocol conversion, or central post-processing of your telemetry data. You can also use the Collector to send your data to more than one backend at the same time.
See Dynatrace Collector and Collector use cases for more details.

See Export to ActiveGate for more details.
If you have OneAgent deployed, you can also export traces to its local-only endpoint. This provides a convenient ingest interface with automatic request enrichment, no need for explicit authentication, but has the following limitations:
