Dynatrace configuration of OTLP exporter

This metrics exporter is a configuration of the OTLP exporter to use with Dynatrace.

For general tracing configuration, refer to Router Metrics Configuration.

Dynatrace configuration

To configure the router:

• Enable the OTLP exporter

• Set temporality: delta (Using Delta is required as Cumulative temporality is not supported by Dynatrace)

• Set the protocol as http (Dynatrace doesn't currently support gRPC)

• Set the endpoint to your Dynatrace OpenTelemetry metrics endpoint (e.g., ensuring that it contains {your-environment-id} in the hostname and ends in /api/v2/otlp/v1/metrics)

• Provide your Dynatrace API token in the Authorization header (the header should start with Api-Token and then your Dynatrace token

For example:

1telemetry:
2  exporters:
3    metrics:
4      otlp:
5        enabled: true
6        temporality: delta
7        # Endpoint for your region.
8        endpoint: <dynatrace-endpoint>
9        protocol: http
10        http:
11          headers:
12            Authorization: Api-Token <dynatrace-token>
