Welcome to the blog series where we give you a deeper dive into the latest awesomeness around Dynatrace : how we bring scale, zero configuration, automatic AI driven alerting, and root cause analysis to all your custom metrics, including open source observability frameworks like StatsD, Telegraf, and Prometheus.

That is, relying on metrics, logs, and traces to understand what software is doing and where it’s running into snags. In addition to tracing, observability also defines two other key concepts, metrics and logs. When software runs in a monolithic stack on on-site servers, observability is manageable enough. What is OpenTelemetry?

To get a more granular look into telemetry data, many analysts rely on custom metrics using Prometheus. Named after the Greek god who brought fire down from Mount Olympus, Prometheus metrics have been transforming observability since the project’s inception in 2012.

It provides unified observability by automatically correlating logs and placing them in the context of traces and metrics. Unlike traditional setups that require predefined schemas, Grail allows you to store diverse data types without schema definitions at any point, providing greater flexibility in any analytic situation.

OneAgent gives you all the operational and business performance metrics you need, from the front end to the back end and everything in between—cloud instances, hosts, network health, processes, and services. But what if a particular metric that’s crucial to your monitoring needs isn’t covered out of the box? Why use Extensions.

And we definitely couldn’t replay test non-functional requirements like caching and logging user interaction. So, we relied on higher-level metrics-based testing: AB Testing and Sticky Canaries. To determine customer impact, we could compare various metrics such as error rates, latencies, and time to render. How does it work?

However, such observation periods come with a disadvantage: incidents can pile up and there is a delay between those incidents and the corresponding health metrics ultimately dropping low enough to trigger a warning.
