Dynatrace OneAgent is essentially one binary file comprising a set of specialized services that have been configured specifically for your monitoring environment. These services collect metrics on various aspects of your hosts, including hardware, operating system, and application processes. The agent can also monitor specific technologies (Java, Node.js, .NET, and more) in greater detail by injecting itself into those processes and monitoring them from the inside. This provides you with code-level insight into the services that your application relies on.

Dynatrace OneAgent

Full-stack monitoring that configures itself

Deploy OneAgent once per host and it automatically discovers every process, service, and dependency across your entire stack — no manual setup, no specialist knowledge, no ongoing configuration

Organizations transforming with Dynatrace

Most monitoring tools require as much work to maintain as the systems they monitor

Configuring multiple agents per host, manually instrumenting code, and stitching data from different tools together shouldn't be part of the job. OneAgent installs once, auto-discovers your entire stack, and keeps itself updated — so your team spends time on work that matters, not monitoring maintenance.

Deploy in minutes

A single command or a few clicks is all it takes. OneAgent immediately auto-discovers your processes and activates the right instrumentation for your stack.
Zero configuration

New components, technologies, and deployments are detected and instrumented automatically — no rule-writing, no manual steps.
Updates that take care of themselves

OneAgent updates automatically across every host. No patching, no coordination, no version drift.

Zero Manual Setup

Install once. Monitor your entire stack immediately.

OneAgent auto-discovers every process running on your host and activates the right instrumentation for your stack — including auto-injecting monitoring into web pages for real user data — without a single line of manual configuration. What takes other tools days of setup takes Dynatrace minutes.

Seeing is believing. Installing Dynatrace is virtually effortless. Check out this 90-second clip to see how literally anyone—no specialized skills needed—can install OneAgent (Windows).

Full-Stack Coverage

Front end to back end, automatically — including what other agents miss

OneAgent is the only agent that collects metrics across every tier of your stack without manual setup: cloud instances, hosts, networks, processes, services, containers, and real user experience. No stitching together separate agents for different layers, no blind spots.
