Summary

Dynatrace has expanded its support for the OpenTelemetry specification to include comprehensive metrics capabilities across all runtimes, enabling large-scale deployment in extensive enterprise environments. Following the stabilization of the OpenTelemetry spec for traces, the focus has shifted to metrics, with most components now ready for use after an announcement at KubeCon Europe. This development is expected to facilitate faster adoption by developers and provide significant value to SRE and DevOps teams by enhancing deployment stability and security. Dynatrace's platform allows for seamless data capture, storage, and analysis of OpenTelemetry metrics via the OpenTelemetry collector and Dynatrace Metrics API, offering features like automated baselining, anomaly detection, and enriched metadata integration. The platform's intelligent automation capabilities help prevent alert storms and simplify metric exploration, while Dynatrace continues to collaborate with the OpenTelemetry community to further improve the robustness and usability of these metrics. Users interested in exploring these new capabilities can start with a Dynatrace free trial and access additional resources through their documentation and webinars.
