In the contemporary digital landscape, understanding the flow of requests across various services is crucial for maintaining system reliability and performance, especially with the shift to cloud-based microservices architectures. Distributed tracing offers this visibility, enabling users to track and analyze requests across system components, which is vital for diagnosing issues and ensuring efficient operations. The new Distributed Tracing app by Dynatrace leverages its platform to provide enhanced capabilities for filtering, grouping, searching, and visualizing trace data, with automatic data capture and seamless OpenTelemetry integration. An illustrative scenario involves an e-commerce business using Dynatrace to investigate performance issues in their Kubernetes-powered online store, where they identify and address a specific problem affecting the customer experience. The app facilitates this by allowing the team to analyze response time distributions, pinpoint failing requests, and delve into detailed traces and logs to uncover root causes. With integrated tools like the Services app and Davis AI, users can ensure general service functionality and quickly address abnormal behaviors such as increased failure rates. Dynatrace offers a free trial for newcomers and invites feedback for continuous improvement through its community channels.
