At KubeCon Barcelona, the OpenCensus and OpenTracing projects merged to form OpenTelemetry, a unified standard aimed at enhancing data analysis within microservices environments, which Dynatrace has joined to further its capabilities in performance monitoring. Dynatrace has been instrumental in application instrumentation without source code modification for over 15 years and sees OpenTelemetry as a way to build more observability into frameworks, thereby broadening its monitoring coverage. With OpenTelemetry as a primary data source, Dynatrace’s platform integrates it seamlessly, enhancing scalability, manageability, and analytics through its AI-driven engine, Davis®. Dynatrace contributes by supporting the OpenTracing and OpenCensus merger for languages like Node.js, Python, and Java, integrating Trace-Context, and developing higher-level APIs to simplify tracing. The collaboration allows Dynatrace customers to benefit from automatic monitoring and enhanced data analytics, leveraging existing custom tracing investments while the Dynatrace OneAgent facilitates automatic instrumentation, offering insights critical for debugging and performance tuning. As the OpenTelemetry project advances, Dynatrace plans to release further support, inviting current customers using OpenTracing or OpenCensus to discuss the strategic integration of OpenTelemetry.
