Improve your OpenTelemetry instrumentation
< Previous Challenge - Home - Next Challenge >
Introduction
Now that we know how to query our logs, metrics, spans and workload details its time to improve our instrumentation. Because, a default instrumentation often doesnt provide enough details when having to troubleshoot a production issue or when needing to report on business insights where the data is not yet available in logs, metrics or spans.
Description
In this challenge you will learn how use CoPilot to improve your OpenTelemetry instrumentation without having to be an expert in coding
-
Analyze your current instrumentation: Either look at your spans in Dynatrace to identify where you miss details on long running transactions or miss details on those where an error happens. Or - just use CoPilot to get recommendations!
-
Improve your instrumentation: Make code changes to improve instrumentation. Redeploy the app. Play some games and validate if you see more details!
Success Criteria
You will have successfully completed this challenge when you:
- Demonstrated how to identify instrumentation gaps
- Improved OpenTelemetry instrumentation
