Service Detection v2 (SDv2) operates according to a single set of rules that are based on attributes. This includes default rules, and you can additionally define your own custom rules. SDv2 rules are generally available for OpenTelemetry services and for Kubernetes and AWS Lambda services monitored by OneAgent. SDv2 rules are also available as an Early Access release for generic workloads outside Kubernetes and Lambda.

Early Access release for generic workloads

SDv2 is available as an Early Access release for generic workloads (web servers and cloud-native services running outside Kubernetes and AWS Lambda). For details, see Activate SDv2 for generic workloads.

SDv2 provides:

  • Service detection and naming based on resource attributes and conditions.

    Keep service names clean and use tags for context. For details, see Add context with tags, not names.

  • Endpoint detection based on span and resource attributes.

  • Service splitting based on resource attributes.

  • Failure detection based on HTTP or gRPC codes or other span and resource attributes.

You can configure SDv2 via:

  • Dynatrace web UI, as described in the pages within this section.
  • Settings API.
