Python OpenTelemetry available endpoints as only Otelcol works

Romanenkov_Al3x — Tue, 23 Jan 2024 15:12:13 GMT

Hello.

Trying to follow python example. https://docs.dynatrace.com/docs/extend-dynatrace/opentelemetry/overview/instrumentation#python-example

Please confirm that there is no possibility send python traces without otelcol

Failed to export traces, error code: StatusCode.UNKNOWN

If it possible can anybody share working configuration.

I have tried different endpoints -

/api/v2/otlp/v1/traces
/api/v2/otlp
OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_TRACES_ENDPOINT
OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_ENDPOINT
OneAgent endpoint
Managed Cluster
Env AG
Cluster AG

It is working only with otelcol.

Regards,

Alex Romanenkov

Hi Alex,

that's right, this particular example focuses on a gRPC export to a local Collector instance.

If you prefer to export straight to an ActiveGate or OneAgent (attention, the latter only supports traces for the time being), you could follow the guides at https://docs.dynatrace.com/docs/shortlink/otel-wt-python, which focus on HTTP exports and explain which URLs you need, which parameters need to be configured, and which token scopes are necessary.

Best,

Alexander
