Monitoring COM+ with OpenTelemetry?

[PedroDeodato]

We are monitoring an application that invokes a COM+ component.

Of course, Dynatrace is unable to monitor compiled code... so, we have no visibility into what is being run on it.

Given that the COM+ component was developed in Visual C++, and OpenTelemetry offer a C++ library, does anyone know if it is possible to instrument it that way?

Yes, absolutely.

You can use OpenTelemetry C++ and setup an exporter to the Dynatrace Trace Ingest API (https://www.dynatrace.com/support/help/how-to-use-dynatrace/transactions-and-services/purepath-distr...).
