Automatic and intelligent end-to-end observability of AWS Lambda traces and logs
TechnologyWith the OneAgent AWS Lambda extension, you get the power of Dynatrace PurePath 4 tracing technology to AWS Lambda functions. This gives you seamless end-to-end distributed tracing for AWS Lambda functions without touching any code through auto-instrumentation, thereby helping you to understand better potential issues that may impact your end users’ experience.
OneAgent AWS Lambda extension also enables you to collect logs directly from your AWS Lambda functions and send them to Dynatrace for analysis. The solution is an alternative to the CloudWatch via Firehose integration with benefits in terms of cost and latency, and is also easier to set up, in particular if AWS Lambda tracing is already in place.
The unique capabilities of the enhanced AWS Lambda extension include:
For Python, Node.js, and Java Lambda functions, Dynatrace provides a single Lambda layer that enables both trace and log collection.
For .NET, Dynatrace provides a standalone layer that collects only logs (explained in the above-mentioned document). In case of .Net traces follow this installation instructions.
The Dynatrace OneAgent extension supports AWS Lambda functions written in Node.js, Python, or Java running on an Amazon Linux 2 and Graviton runtime.
