Thanks Julius. The links you provide point to the same content and it mentions only support for

" 'Dynatrace SaaS/Managed version 1.15 ' - Apache Kafka or Confluent-supported Kafka 0.9.0.1+ "

pardon my understanding, but does it mean OneAgent deployed onpremise?

[Julius_Loman]

OneAgent needs to be deployed on the host to collect either metrics or traces.
