What is the primary purpose of Dynatrace OpenKit?

Dynatrace OpenKit is primarily designed to instrument custom application source code. This allows developers to gain visibility into the performance of their applications by integrating monitoring directly into their code. It supports the collection of metrics and traces that are essential for understanding application behavior and user experience, enabling teams to diagnose issues and optimize performance effectively. By embedding OpenKit in custom applications, organizations can leverage Dynatrace's powerful monitoring capabilities, ensuring that they can track vital application interactions and performance indicators in real-time.

The other options focus on roles that are not aligned with the functionalities of OpenKit. For example, OpenKit does not manage network security, replace existing agents like Dynatrace OneAgent, or enhance database performance directly, as its main focus is to provide instrumentation for applications.
