Overview

With Dynatrace, you get intelligent observability for Istio Service Mesh by leveraging istio-native configuration. Seamless end-to-end traces and logs for microservices and sidecar-proxies will help you to better understand the potential anomalies that may impact your mission-critical applications. Comprehensive metrics give you insights into topology and the control-plane and data-plane of your Istio mesh. Dynatrace automatically analyzes, detects and diagnoses problems in your microservices or Istio data-plane in real-time and pinpoints the root cause thanks to our proprietary AI engine.

Use cases

In combination with the Istio extension, you will get:

  • Automated discovery and distributed tracing for all Envoy proxies alongside your workloads within your mesh
  • Assess the health of Istio control plane and data plane (Envoy proxies)
  • Monitor the performance (overhead) of your Istio Service Mesh
  • Istio-specific problem detection and root cause analysis across complex microservice patterns
  • Discover and analyze horizontal topology between workloads, pods and services over the mesh
  • Use dashboards to visualize service mesh component status and performance

Get started

End-to-end traces & logs in context:

  1. Set up Dynatrace on Kubernetes or OpenShift and enable Istio in your Dynakube.
  2. Ensure log monitoring is enabled.
  3. Set up Istio by following the instructions on the deployment page and in the documentation

Istio Metrics:
For Istio metric ingest and dashboards, simply activate the Istio extension in your environment using the in-product Hub, follow the configuration steps and you’re all set up.

Details

This integration is based on open source code governed by the respective communities and is not covered under the Dynatrace support policy. While we strive to assist, issues and feature requests should be reported directly to the respective project. Dynatrace cannot ensure fixes/features due to the independent nature of OSS projects.

Compatibility information

Istio 1.22+ (Envoy 1.30+):

  • Distributed tracing based on OpenTelemetry and a Dynatrace-specific resource detector & sampler
