Hello @praba24 ,

This documentation covers installing the Dynatrace Operator to enable both platform-level monitoring and full‑stack observability (including CSI driver injection) without reinstalling the operator Get started with Kubernetes platform monitoring + Full-Stack observability — Dynatrace Docs

Thanks,

Sujit

@praba24 - here are the official docs.
Migration guides — Dynatrace Docs

Unless you are only doing infrastructure via the operator, any other combination of migration will cause countless issues. I would always stick to.

Quick version:
- Uninstall existing dynatrace.
- Restart all application workloads to remove dynatrace components.
- Install dyatrace on new configurations.
- Restart all application workloads to re-implement monitoring.

Thanks
