Dynatrace supports multiple approaches for distributed tracing:

OpenTracing is supported as an open standard for instrumenting applications and sending trace data

OpenTelemetry is the modern, preferred open standard for collecting and exporting traces, metrics, and logs into Dynatrace

Dynatrace OneAgent SDK enables custom instrumentation for tracing in cases where automatic instrumentation is not sufficient

Dynatrace RUM focuses on capturing real user interactions and frontend performance, not distributed tracing.

Dynatrace Operator is used for deploying OneAgent in Kubernetes environments and does not provide tracing capabilities itself.

These supported tracing methods allow Dynatrace to capture end-to-end distributed traces across modern, cloud-native, and custom environments.

Dynatrace uses Automated Multi-Dimensional Baselining as the default anomaly detection method for host metrics such as CPU, memory, and disk utilization.

This approach:

Automatically learns normal behavior patterns over time

Adjusts thresholds dynamically based on historical data

Considers multiple dimensions such as time of day and workload patterns

This allows Dynatrace to detect anomalies more accurately compared to fixed thresholds.

Static thresholds are manually defined and not the default.

Other options are unrelated to anomaly detection mechanisms.

Dynatrace supports multiple methods for log ingestion :

OneAgent automatically collects logs from monitored hosts and containers

Dynatrace API allows pushing logs directly into the platform

Dynatrace Extensions can be used to ingest logs from specific technologies

Dynatrace Operator is used for Kubernetes deployment, not direct log ingestion.

Dynatrace Hub is a repository for extensions, not an ingestion mechanism itself.

The Dynatrace API can be used to dynamically retrieve the latest version of the RUM JavaScript snippet during build time. This ensures that the most up-to-date script is always injected into the application without manual updates.

Other options:

ActiveGate is for communication and routing

OpenKit is for custom apps

OneAgent is not used in agentless/manual injection
