Support for distributed tracing and logging in mobile applications

[OnstreamDish1]

Is there inhouse dynatrace support for distributed tracing and logging in mobile applications without using thirdparty libraries like OpenTelemetry

[PacoPorro · Accepted solution]

You can use the mobile instrumentation.
https://docs.dynatrace.com/docs/shortlink/mobile-applications-landing

From here you can check in the specific user action for the trace.

And from the trace, you can see the logs if log enrichment is enabled.

Hello @OnstreamDish1 

1. First point: It's supported by Dynatrace OOB by default, but mobile instrumentation should be conducted properly by Mobile development team as per Dynatrace documentation.
2. The second point ensure the trace features required are enabled under oneagent features.
3. The third point ensure  W3C Trace Context headers are configured based on your monitored technologies.
4. The fourth point: Cluster node computational resources support the log monitoring.
5. The Fifth point: Cluster AG beacon endpoint is configured properly and Cluster AG has publicly accessible IP address && hosted in DMZ.
6. The Firewall constraints for RUM are allowed as per Dynatrace documentation.

Hoping it adds value.
