---|---|
Platform: ABAP | Version: 1 from 01.07.2024 |
Description
Starting from PowerConnect 8.02, it is possible to send OpenTelemetry traces to Dynatrace. At the moment it requires NW 7.50+ or S/4HANA platforms to collect necessary data.
!It is recommended to send only OpenTelemetry Traces via OpenTelemetry endpoint. Logs still should be send using regular Dynatrace Log connection.
Following steps needs to be performed to get it setup:
Upload Dynatrace certificate into STRUST (if not yet done).
Administrator->Connection Setup->Upload Scheme
Define Group Def uploading filters to create ZTRACE_ONLY and ZLOGS_ONLY filters
On the right side of the screen press Create OpenTelemetry endpoint
Populate connection details
Check the connection
In case error message is shown, troubleshooting might be required to ensure outbound connectivity is allowed and SSL is setup properly.Drag and drop the endpoint from the right side of the screen to the Default Scheme node on left side of the screen. Set the Active flag and populate the filter as shown below:
Filter definition is mandatory for this endpoint!
Double-click on all existing Log endpoints and assign the ZLOGS_ONLY filter to filter out trace data
Filter definition is mandatory!
Confirm the dialog and Save changes in Upload Scheme screen.
