SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Provide targeted implementation and troubleshooting guidance for sending telemetry to Dynatrace while preserving vendor-neutral instrumentation, ensuring correct OTLP ingestion, OneAgent/Operator alignment, and secure environment-specific authentication.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • OTLP and Dynatrace exporter validation: validate collector configuration and test connectivity to Dynatrace OTLP endpoints.
  • OneAgent / Dynatrace Operator guidance: inspect operator and OneAgent resources in Kubernetes and verify pod health and logs.
  • Token and scope checks: confirm least-privilege token scopes for metrics, logs, and events and record authentication model.
  • Use Case: migrating OpenTelemetry traces and metrics to Dynatrace in a Kubernetes environment while minimizing vendor lock-in and documenting what signals come from OneAgent vs OTel.

Quick Start

Use the obs-dynatrace-support skill to validate OTLP endpoints, verify token scopes, and recommend the appropriate ingestion path (OTLP, OneAgent-assisted OTel, or Operator) for the target environment.

FAQPage Schema
How do I configure OpenTelemetry Collector to send OTLP traces to Dynatrace?

To send OpenTelemetry traces to Dynatrace, configure the otlphttp exporter in your OpenTelemetry Collector, validate endpoint connectivity, and ensure correct token scopes for secure OTLP ingestion.

Why is my Dynatrace OneAgent not reporting telemetry data in Kubernetes?

Dynatrace OneAgent telemetry issues in Kubernetes often stem from Operator misalignment or pod health failures; inspect operator resources, verify pod logs, and validate environment-specific authentication to resolve reporting gaps.

What token scopes are required for ingesting metrics and logs into Dynatrace?

Ingesting metrics and logs into Dynatrace requires least-privilege token scopes configured for each specific signal type, ensuring secure and authenticated access for metrics, logs, and events data.

What is the best way to migrate OpenTelemetry data to Dynatrace without vendor lock-in?

Migrating OpenTelemetry data to Dynatrace while minimizing vendor lock-in involves using OTLP endpoints and documenting which signals originate from OneAgent versus OpenTelemetry instrumentation.

Can I use the Dynatrace Operator alongside OpenTelemetry collectors in the same cluster?

Yes, you can use the Dynatrace Operator alongside OpenTelemetry collectors; this Skill guides environment-aware practices to distinguish OneAgent-assisted OTel data from standard Operator ingestion paths.

How do I validate Dynatrace OTLP endpoint connectivity before a production rollout?

Validate Dynatrace OTLP endpoint connectivity by testing collector configurations in non-production environments first, confirming endpoint reachability, token scope validation, and ingestion path stability before production rollout.
