Extend the platform,
empower your team.
OpenMetrics is a universal, scalable metric standard.
TechnologyPrometheus and OpenMetrics exporters provide a standardized monitoring interface for numerous technologies and services. By adding Dynatrace support to metrics collected from Prometheus and OpenMetrics exporters, you get intelligent observability and automatic root cause analysis for technologies such as Redis, Kafka, and MongoDB. As well 100+ integrations maintained by the open-source community.
This is intended for users who want to:
Leverage existing integrations to extend Dynatrace’s monitoring capabilities. This enables you to:
Analyze Kubernetes infrastructure and platform metrics in Dynatrace. Analyze metrics from any technology running in Kubernetes pods in Dynatrace. Proactively alert on anomalies of Prometheus and Open Metrics with Davis AI. Compatibility Requirements:
In the Dynatrace menu, go to Settings > Cloud and virtualization > Kubernetes and turn on Enable monitoring and Monitor Prometheus exporters.
ActiveGate version 1.215+ or Dynatrace Operator running on Dynatrace version 1.215
Dynatrace integrates Gauge and Counter metrics from Prometheus exporters in Kubernetes environments.

to enable Dynatrace to collect Prometheus metrics exposed for this pod.metrics.dynatrace.com/port
to the respective port. Once you’ve annotated the Kubernetes pods, the respective metrics will automatically show up in your environment for charting, alerting, and analysis.For more details, please refer to the documentation: Monitor Prometheus metrics
