Camunda with dynatrace

[Mateusbmo1]

Hello, everyone

I’m trying to instrument my services running on Camunda with Dynatrace, but so far without success.
I attempted to do it through OPTL, but the official Camunda documentation is for a later version than the one I’m currently using.

Does anyone have any material or guidance on how to do this? We are currently using Camunda version 7.18.

Hello!

First, one quick question:
Do you already have Camunda connected to Prometheus?
And is your goal to get Camunda metrics and a dashboard in Dynatrace similar to what Grafana provides?
Grafana-Camunda 

If yes, then you simply need to expose the Prometheus metrics so Dynatrace can scrape them.

For Camunda 7.18, the easiest approach is to enable Prometheus metrics on your services (via Spring Boot Actuator or the Camunda Prometheus extension) and then add the following annotations to your Kubernetes pods:

annotations:
  metrics.dynatrace.com/scrape: "true"
  metrics.dynatrace.com/port: "9600"
  metrics.dynatrace.com/path: "/actuator/prometheus"

Once these annotations are in place, Dynatrace will automatically scrape the metrics, ingest them as Prometheus metrics, and you’ll be able to build dashboards or alerts based on them.

This is the simplest and most reliable method to monitor Camunda 7.x with Dynatrace.
