Summary

Dynatrace enhances observability for HashiCorp's Consul service mesh by providing out-of-the-box insights, leveraging features like the Davis AI causation engine and automated error detection. As applications increasingly transition from monolithic to microservice-based architectures, Consul offers a robust solution for managing service connectivity and security across diverse environments, including legacy systems and Kubernetes. Dynatrace simplifies the process of importing telemetry data from Consul by supporting various custom metrics and enabling easy integration with its platform. Users can configure Consul to send StatsD metrics to Dynatrace, allowing for visualization and alerting through dashboards. This setup benefits from auto-baselining for adaptive alert thresholds and can be further enhanced with prebuilt configurations available via the Dynatrace Hub. Monitoring external Consul clients and Kubernetes-based deployments is facilitated by deploying Dynatrace's OneAgent, and users are encouraged to provide feedback through the Dynatrace Community.
