Tracing middle-tier microservices communication

Anonymous — Wed, 08 Dec 2021 13:19:47 GMT

I have configured the Dynatrace agent with 3 instances of java microservices which are interacting with each others. I could see the end-to-end request, from client->middle tier->database. In middle-tier, i have three microservices which are all interacting with each others, i couldn't able to trace this middle-tier communication from the Dynatrace Client Monitoring tool. Will be appreciated if i get a help in how to monitor the middle-tier components/microservices interactions?

If all Microservices are instrumented with an agent you should already see the communitcation between the different services e.g. in the SmartScape or ServiceFlow.

what are the 3 services in the middle tier? what framework are they using and also for communication? are these 3 services on different instances or the same jvm?
