Description

!It is recommended to send only OpenTelemetry Traces via OpenTelemetry endpoint. Logs and metrics still should be send using regular Dynatrace Log connection. In order to route logs to Log endpoints and Traces to trace endpoints manual filter setup is required.

Please ensure all endpoints have appropriate filters assigned as described below.

Following steps needs to be performed to get it setup:

  1. Upload Dynatrace certificate into STRUST (if not yet done).

  2. Administrator->Connection Setup->Upload Scheme

    In case error message is shown, troubleshooting might be required to ensure outbound connectivity is allowed and SSL is setup properly.

  6. Drag and drop the endpoint from the right side of the screen to the Default Scheme node on left side of the screen. Set the Active flag and populate the filter as shown below:
