Better together: Why OpenTelemetry and Dynatrace make a winning combination

The text provides a detailed overview of how Dynatrace, a major player in the observability sector, supports OpenTelemetry (OTel), a widely adopted open-source project of the Cloud Native Computing Foundation. Since its creation in 2019 from merging OpenCensus and OpenTracing, OpenTelemetry has become a key standard for telemetry data handling and is supported by numerous observability vendors, including Dynatrace. Dynatrace can natively ingest data in the OpenTelemetry Protocol (OTLP) format via HTTP, supporting key signals such as traces, logs, and metrics, though it requires specific configurations like delta temporality for metrics and an API token with designated scopes. The text also highlights Dynatrace's own Collector distribution, which integrates with OpenTelemetry's repositories and provides advantages such as verified components and independent security patches. Furthermore, Dynatrace offers capabilities like the Grail™ data lakehouse for unified data storage and analysis, making it possible to query and correlate data effectively. The document encourages exploring resources like the Dynatrace Playground to experience the integration firsthand.
