Dynatrace Can Do THAT With OpenTelemetry - The Dynatrace MCP Server

Explore the integration between Dynatrace and OpenTelemetry through the Dynatrace Model Context Protocol (MCP) server in this comprehensive 36-minute tutorial. Learn how to leverage the MCP server to query OpenTelemetry data stored in Dynatrace using natural language interactions through GitHub Copilot Chat. Begin with an overview of MCP and the Dynatrace MCP server, then dive into hands-on demonstrations showing how to send data to Dynatrace using the OpenTelemetry Demo application. Master the configuration process by creating and setting up the mcp.json file, configuring environment variables, creating OAuth clients, and generating Dynatrace API tokens. Discover practical techniques for interacting with Dynatrace data through the MCP server, including listing unique service names, examining spans per service, and analyzing logs associated with specific service spans. Develop troubleshooting skills for handling prompts and learn to calculate metrics like average response times for services. Gain valuable insights into how Dynatrace's observability platform can be enhanced through OpenTelemetry integration and natural language querying capabilities.
