Istio Service Mesh

This extension contains preset dashboards and alert configurations for Istio based on prometheus metrics from Istio components. Istio metrics give you insights into topology as well as the performance and health of your control-plane and data-plane of your Istio mesh.

In combination with Istio trace configuration for Dynatrace you get:

• Automated discovery and distributed tracing for all Envoy proxies alongside your workloads within your mesh
• Assess the health of Istio control plane and data plane (Envoy proxies)
• Monitor the performance (overhead) of your Istio Service Mesh
• Istio specific problem detection and root cause analysis across complex microservice patterns
• Discover and analyze horizontal topology between workloads, pods and services over the mesh
• Use dashboards to visualize service mesh component status and performance

Activate the extension in your environment using the in-product Hub, follow the configuration steps and you’re all set up.
