Overview

The Gatling x Dynatrace integration lets you stream load testing metrics from Gatling Enterprise Edition directly into Dynatrace, so you can analyze system behavior under controlled, repeatable traffic. Instead of reviewing performance tests and production telemetry in isolation, you correlate them in a single observability platform. This allows you to understand why performance degrades, not just that it degrades. With Gatling and Dynatrace together, you turn load testing into a diagnostic signal inside your observability strategy.

What you can do

  • Visualize Gatling load test metrics alongside infrastructure KPIs
  • Correlate response times, errors, and throughput with traces and logs
  • Reproduce production issues under controlled load to isolate bottlenecks
  • Compare performance behavior across test runs, environments, and releases

Use cases

  • Reproducible performance investigations: Replay the same workload and correlate Gatling metrics with Dynatrace telemetry to diagnose regressions and incidents.
  • Bottleneck attribution across layers: Identify whether latency inflation originates at the application, dependency, network, or infrastructure layer.
  • Regression detection across releases: Track performance drift by comparing identical load tests across builds using Dynatrace dashboards.
  • Capacity planning and scaling validation: Ramp traffic while monitoring autoscaling behavior, queue depth, and saturation signals in Dynatrace.
  • SLO verification under load: Validate latency and error budgets under realistic traffic mixes before production releases.

Get started

Prerequisites

  • Gatling Enterprise Edition account
  • Dynatrace environment
  • Dynatrace API token with: metrics.ingest and events.ingest
  • Gatling Private Locations with network access to Dynatrace

Installation overview

  1. Create a Dynatrace API token with required permissions
  2. Identify your Dynatrace environment ID
  3. Configure your Gatling Control Plane with Dynatrace credentials
  4. Run a load test: metrics and events automatically appear in Dynatrace

Once enabled, Gatling will push metrics and events to Dynatrace for every test run.

Details

Metrics sent to Dynatrace

Gatling Enterprise Edition pushes detailed load testing metrics, including:

  • Virtual users (started, concurrent, stopped)
  • Request and response counts
  • Response time percentiles (p95, p99, p99.9)
  • Error rates and response codes
  • TCP and TLS connection metrics
  • Bandwidth usage

These metrics can be filtered and aggregated using dimensions such as test name, scenario, request, run ID, and load generator.

Events sent to Dynatrace

Gatling generates custom information events for:

  • Load test start
  • Load test end

Each event includes metadata such as:

  • Test name
  • Run ID
  • Team
  • Injection phase

This makes it easy to align test execution windows with performance behavior in Dynatrace timelines.
