Extending OpenTelemetry to Observability
summary
Dynatrace demonstrates that the one agent automatically captures OpenTelemetry spans and metrics, while an OpenTelemetry exporter ingests data when the agent isn’t usable. A live demo traces 46 failed checkout requests to a currency-conversion API returning HTTP 500 due to a rate limit, surfaces the offending span and code-level attribute, and suggests caching as a fix. The platform builds a live Smartscape topology in seconds to minutes and applies Davis AI to pinpoint root cause and impacted services.
