Dynatrace exporter (via OTLP)

Enable and configure the OTLP exporter for metrics in the Apollo Router for use with Dynatrace.

For general tracing configuration, refer to Router Metrics Configuration.

Dynatrace configuration

To configure the router:

• Enable the OTLP exporter

• Set temporality: delta (Using Delta is required as Cumulative temporality is not supported by Dynatrace)

• Set the protocol as http (Dynatrace doesn't currently support gRPC)

• Set the endpoint to your Dynatrace OpenTelemetry metrics endpoint (e.g., ensuring that it contains {your-environment-id} in the hostname and ends in /api/v2/otlp/v1/metrics)

• Provide your Dynatrace API token in the Authorization header (the header should start with Api-Token and then your Dynatrace token

For example:

1telemetry:
2  exporters:
3    metrics:
4      otlp:
5        enabled: true
6        temporality: delta
7        # Endpoint for your region.
8        endpoint: <dynatrace-endpoint>
9        protocol: http
10        http:
11          headers:
12            Authorization: Api-Token <dynatrace-token>
