Dynatrace Operator

The Dynatrace Operator supports rollout and lifecycle management of various Dynatrace components in Kubernetes and OpenShift.

• OneAgent
  • classicFullStack rolls out a OneAgent pod per node to monitor pods on it and the node itself
  • applicationMonitoring is a webhook based injection mechanism for automatic app-only injection
    • CSI Driver can be enabled to cache OneAgent downloads per node
  • hostMonitoring is only monitoring the hosts (i.e. nodes) in the cluster without app-only injection
    • CSI Driver is used to provide a writeable volume for the Oneagent as it's running in read-only mode
  • cloudNativeFullStack is a combination of applicationMonitoring and hostMonitoring
    • CSI Driver is used for both features
• ActiveGate
  • routing routes OneAgent traffic through the ActiveGate
  • kubernetes-monitoring allows monitoring of the Kubernetes API
  • metrics-ingest routes enriched metrics through ActiveGate
