Can I use Dynatrace for Monitoring Alpine docker containers?

[ops1]

Can anyone confirm or deny this, or provide a source? I am using Alpine containers almost everywhere, and auto-injection seems to be working (i.e. i'm able to monitor processes running within containers). I am not using Alpine-glibc.

musl-libc based containers (and therefore also Alpine linux based containers) are supported since agent version 115.

Currently we are monitoring Node.js applications with Alpine base image, but docker agent does not support musl-libc based containers for PHP applications which we are using in many of our micro services. Is there any plan to support Alpine OS for PHP applications? @Thomas K.

in docker start commands; I just:

mkdir -p /opt/dynatrace/oneagent && ARCHIVE=$(mktemp) && wget -O $ARCHIVE "https://YOURHOST.live.dynatrace.com/api/v1/deployment/installer/agent/unix/paas/latest?Api-Token=YOURTOKEN&flavor=musl&include=all" && unzip -o -d /opt/dynatrace/oneagent $ARCHIVE && rm -f $ARCHIVE && cd /usr/src/xxxx/common/server-api/dist/ && sh /opt/dynatrace/oneagent/dynatrace-agent64.sh node scripts/server.js
