Ingest AWS X-Ray Trace Data for Distributed Tracing in Dynatrace

ronmacdonald — Tue, 16 Dec 2025 08:35:55 GMT

Looking to see if anyone has a working use case of ingesting AWS x-ray data as traces into Dynatrace. In theory, x-ray can be fed to an ADOT collector, that can then forward the data in OLTP to Dynatrace. Not sure how the trace data would work interact with the Dynatrace entities and/or AWS Cloudwatch connector data sets.

At this point I'm just trying to understand the possible benefits of bringing the x-ray data into Dyantrace. I know there is a design to forward x-ray to ADOT, then forward those to Dynatrace as OTEL. Just not sure if it's worth the work. Are there certain AWS services or designs that would benefit most?
