Syslog is a crucial protocol for monitoring system and network devices, but integrating it into enterprise observability solutions presents challenges due to its strict support and security requirements. The new Dynatrace OTel Collector distribution addresses these challenges by leveraging the power of syslog, open-source community contributions, and Dynatrace's support and Grail™ for scalable log data analysis. This solution enhances enterprise observability by streamlining syslog integration with other data types and providing robust vendor support to mitigate risks associated with unsupported bugs or vulnerabilities. This integration aligns with the rising trend of using OpenTelemetry for end-to-end visibility, offering enterprises a seamless way to manage syslog data alongside other observability signals. The Dynatrace OTel Collector facilitates the configuration and deployment of syslog data collection, ensuring compliance, security, and efficiency in data management while reducing the complexity and risk of maintaining multiple tools and components in cloud-native environments.
