What can the OneAgent SDK in Dynatrace be used for?

The OneAgent SDK in Dynatrace serves a key function by allowing developers to create custom tracing for their applications. This capability is particularly valuable because it enables users to instrument their applications in a way that aligns with specific business needs and performance metrics. By using the OneAgent SDK, developers can define custom operations, add metadata to those operations, and gain deeper insights into particular transactions or processes that may not be automatically captured by Dynatrace.

Custom tracing helps in enhancing observability for more nuanced performance analysis, allowing teams to monitor the behavior of particular parts of their applications, detect anomalies, and understand user interactions more thoroughly. This tailored approach to monitoring can significantly improve the quality of insights and aid in troubleshooting any performance issues.

The other choices pertain to functionalities that are outside the scope of what the OneAgent SDK is designed to achieve. While monitoring network performance may be part of Dynatrace's broader capabilities, it is not specifically what the OneAgent SDK is used for. Similarly, user management and frontend application development are unrelated tasks that do not leverage the SDK's primary purpose of enhancing application tracing.
