Dynatrace Links OpenTelemetry Signals from User Clicks to Hosts Without Manual Stitching
OpenTelemetry has become the common standard for traces, metrics and logs, but it standardizes signal formats rather than how they relate to one another. As a result, engineers often have to manually connect a trace to its host, user session or downstream AI model across several tools. Dynatrace addresses this by ingesting OTel telemetry directly and automatically building the topology that links these elements. Frontend sessions can be tied to backend traces via standard W3C trace context headers, provided that context is propagated all the way to the services. The platform's Service Map and Smartscape also treat OneAgent and OpenTelemetry sources equivalently, which suits hybrid environments.
