Dynatrace today announced it has extended its observability capabilities via the launch of its PurePath 4 platform that adds support for the open source OpenTelemetry framework and W3C Trace Context specification for distributed tracing.

Alois Reitbauer, chief technology strategist for Dynatrace, said by adding support for open source tools to gather metrics, the total cost of achieving observability is being driven lower at a time when a transition to microservices-based applications is making the need to observe applications more crucial than ever.

Dynatrace is now becoming the latest provider of observability tools to embrace open source software to instrument applications as part of an effort to focus engineering efforts on advancing analytics capabilities.

Dynatrace is betting that as more applications become instrumented, deciding which platform to employ will shift closer to the AI capabilities that enable issues to be resolved issue faster regardless of what type of application is deployed rather than the capabilities of the agent software employed to instrument applications.
