OpenPipeline is a streaming ingest pipeline that ingests all types of data into Dynatrace. Its basic features include processing and data extraction with typical use cases like:

• normalizing of the data format,  

• enriching data,  

• extracting relevant information (e.g. parsing),  

• filtering noise, 

• filtering or masking sensitive data,  

• restricting ingest.  

Extended by the tight integration into Dynatrace, OpenPipeline supports an even more advanced set of use cases like:   

• metric extraction and aggregation,     

• triggering workflows or notifications,  

• extraction of new data types, e.g. software development life cycle, AppSec, Business data,

• cost attribution,

• setting security context for record-level access.
