Operating systems
The tables below contain information about the supported OneAgent capabilities for various supported operating systems. Note that Alpine Linux is supported in containers only, see Alpine Linux (musl libc) based containers.
Code modules
Alpine Linux (musl libc) based containers are not supported.
IBM technologies
OneAgent SDK
We added support for Python, C++, and other runtimes via OpenTelemetry instead of the Dynatrace SDK (which is Dynatrace-proprietary). This is available on any platform.
Other modules
OS module is required for out-of-the-box infrastructure alerting capabilities.
Log module support is limited to custom log sources, no log auto-detection is performed.
Extension Execution Controller is an interface providing support for local metric ingestion and local Dynatrace Extensions. For more information, see Metric ingestion and Extensions.
Eigenschaften
Global auto-injection isn't possible for AIX. Instead, use the universal injection approach, as described on the AIX OneAgent installation page.
Enterprise cloud platforms
The tables below contain information about the supported OneAgent capabilities for various supported Cloud platforms.
Cloud Foundry application-only also applies to SAP Cloud.
OneAgent deployment via container (OneAgent Operator) on OpenShift and Kubernetes has some limitations compared to standard OneAgent installation.
Code modules
Out-of-the-box infrastructure alerting capabilities are not supported for application-only code modules.
Alpine Linux (musl libc) based containers are not supported.
OneAgent SDK
Other modules
This is supported today via Dynatrace's FluentD integration
Eigenschaften
Cloud application platforms
The tables below contain information about the supported OneAgent capabilities for supported Cloud application platforms.
Code modules
Both 64-bit ARM (AWS Graviton2 processors) and 64-bit x86 architectures are supported.
Both Google Cloud Run execution environments are supported, with some restrictions.
Alpine Linux (musl libc) based containers are not supported.
Eigenschaften
Auto-injection of code modules
Auto-injection automatically injects code modules into monitored applications in a completely transparent and automatic fashion that requires no manual configuration or intervention. This approach to deep monitoring is supported for Windows (Docker only) and Linux. Among other things, auto-injection also automatically injects code modules into Docker, containerd, CRI-O, and Cloud Foundry Garden containers. This means that you don't have to change any container images on monitored platforms to gain full insights.
Universal injection of code modules
Universal injection allows Dynatrace to inject code modules into applications in a unified way across multiple platforms, in situations where auto-injection isn't available. This applies to AIX and Solaris as well as to Cloud Foundry application-only, OpenShift application-only, Kubernetes application-only, Heroku, Google App Engine, AWS Fargate, and AWS App Runner.
The feature is described on the AIX/Solaris OneAgent installation page. It is also part of the OpenShift application-only/Kubernetes application-only integration and the container platforms Google App Engine and AWS Fargate.
Outside of these specific use cases, this feature isn't to be used directly!
The Cloud Foundry buildpack integrations and Dynatrace Heroku buildpack use this transparently under the hood without any need for manual intervention or configuration.
Any form of undocumented injection (for example, older forms of manual injection) aren't supported.
Alpine Linux (musl libc) based containers
Dynatrace supports Alpine Linux (musl libc) based containers on monitored Linux x86_64 hosts. This includes OpenShift, Kubernetes and Cloud Foundry installations and all forms of Docker environments. In these environments Dynatrace OneAgent automatically injects the code modules into the applications running inside the container.
Alpine Linux is also supported in OpenShift application only and Kubernetes application only integrations as well as when pushing Docker images to Cloud Foundry and Heroku. This happens via the universal injection.
Dynatrace OneAgent doesn't support direct installation in Alpine based Linux systems.
OneAgent deployment via Dynatrace Operator
Dynatrace Operator deploys the OneAgent to Kubernetes or OpenShift clusters through a containerized approach. There are some limitations associated with deploying OneAgent via Dynatrace Operator. These include:
- The auto-update mechanism of modules is disabled for container rollouts. However, Dynatrace Operator ensures the restart of OneAgent pods to receive OneAgent updates.
- Auto-injection of code-modules is disabled for native (i.e., non-containerized) processes.
- JMX extensions aren't supported for technologies outside of containers
For a detailed overview of limitations, see Set up Dynatrace OneAgent as a Docker container.
