Extensions 2.0

Get your data into Dynatrace with Extensions 2.0.

Dynatrace can ingest data from hundreds of tools, which means you get:

• A single source of truth for observability.
• A continuous flow of actionable data to help you fix problems quickly, maintain complex systems, improve code quality, and accelerate digital transformation.

If we don't have a pre-built solution for your situation, you can declaratively bring metrics into Dynatrace that feed platform analytics and monitoring capabilities. Dynatrace links your data in a meaningful way so you can explore it, build instrumentation, and set up alerting.
