What does Dynatrace automatically insert into containers?

Dynatrace automatically inserts monitoring agents into containers to enable seamless performance monitoring and observability. These agents are lightweight and designed to gather metrics, logs, and traces from the applications running within containers without requiring manual configuration. This capability allows Dynatrace to provide in-depth insights into application behavior, resource utilization, and potential bottlenecks in real-time, enhancing the overall management of applications in dynamic environments such as microservices architectures.

The monitoring agents are essential for enabling full-stack observability, including application performance monitoring, infrastructure monitoring, and user experience monitoring. By automatically deploying these agents into containers, Dynatrace simplifies the monitoring setup and ensures that all relevant data is collected from the start. This automation is crucial for DevOps practices, where rapid deployment and scaling of applications are common.
