Python Lambda monitoring

sebastien_guiha — Wed, 21 Aug 2024 11:10:05 GMT

Hi Team ,

Is it possible to monitor AWS Lambda in Python with Dynatrace (code level) ? Like Sentry per exemple ? If not , will it be possible this Year ? We have more and more Lambdas in Python.

Thanks a lot

Hi Sebastien,

No, I do not believe it is possible to monitor Python Lambda functions at this time. Currently looks like Dynatrace supports Node.js Lambda functions.

Unfortunately I am not able to comment on the roadmap of when it will be available. I will leave that to someone else.

Thanks

-Dallas

~~I think the best approach here would be to contact product managers - @Sonja C. or @Daniel K.~~

For FaaS in general, Dynatrace is moving towards OpenTelemetry, since there are technical limits in running OneAgent in FaaS environments and it even does not make much sense running a full or PaaS agent version there.

See @Christoph_Neum answer for up 2 date solution (May 2021).

In January 2021, we released distributed tracing support for Python (and Java, Node.js) with full auto-instrumentation capabilities and deployment via Lambda Layers.
