How does instrumentation occur when OneAgent is installed?

OneAgent instrumentation occurs by actively collecting and reporting various metrics from the applications and infrastructure where it is installed. When the OneAgent is deployed, it automatically detects the applications running on the host, instruments code paths, and captures performance metrics, enabling visibility into application behavior and health. The data collected is then sent back to Dynatrace for analysis, allowing users to gain insights into the performance characteristics of their systems. This automated process streamlines observability and makes it easier for organizations to monitor their applications without needing extensive manual configuration.

The focus on reporting metrics ensures that Dynatrace can provide real-time performance insights, helping teams identify issues and optimize system performance. This clear mechanism of metric reporting stands out as the primary function of OneAgent after installation, underscoring its role in continuous monitoring and performance management.
