autodynatrace - OneAgent-SDK-Python-AutoInstrumentation

Dynatrace provides a powerful SDK that can be used to achieve code level visibility and transaction tracing for applications written in multiple languages, including python. This project provides a library called autodynatrace, which is a wrapper around the OneAgent SDK for Python and allows you to instrument python applications with minimal code changes.

Warning Autodynatrace is opensource and supported via github issues, this is not supported by Dynatrace via support tickets.

Usage

pip install autodynatrace

Option 1 - Instrumentation without code changes

Add the environment variable AUTOWRAPT_BOOTSTRAP=autodynatrace to your python processes

Option 2 - Semi-Auto Instrumentation

For most technologies, just import it in your code.
