Integrate Dynatrace in a Radix app

Adding Dynatrace as your monitoring tool can be done by adding the Dynatrace agent to your build. See the sample below.

This method adds DynaTrace OneAgent to the container, and uses RadixConfig to manipulate environment.

TLDR
  • Always use pre-production image in dockerfile.
  • Add spa-equinor.kanari.com to privateImageHubs in your radixconfig.yaml file.
  • Override DT_TENANT, DT_TENANTTOKEN and DT_CONNECTION_POINT with Radix Secrets.
  • Push updated Dockerfile and radixconfig.yaml file so Radix is aware of the changes,
    • update application configuration with private build image secret
    • update each environments secrets with dynatrace config
  • Join the Slack channel #application-performance-management.

Dockerfile sample

# Always use Dynatrace pre-production image
FROM spa-equinor.kanari.com/e/eddaec99-38b1-4a9c-9f4c-9148921efa10/linux/oneagent-codemodules:all AS DYNATRACE


FROM mcr.microsoft.com/dotnet/sdk:6.0 AS BUILD
WORKDIR /source
COPY . .
WORKDIR /source/api
RUN dotnet publish -c release -o /app


FROM mcr.microsoft.com/dotnet/aspnet:6.0 AS PRODUCTION

#Dynatrace config
COPY --from=DYNATRACE / /
ENV DT_TENANT eddaec99-38b1-4a9c-9f4c-9148921efa10 # Defaults to PRE-PRODUCTION, can be changed in RadixConfig for Prod
ENV LD_PRELOAD /opt/dynatrace/oneagent/agent/lib64/liboneagentproc.so
ENV DT_TAGS DT_MZ=<TeamMzName> # Set yor app name here

#Application config
WORKDIR /app
RUN mkdir /logs && chown -R 1001:1001 /logs
COPY --from=BUILD /app ./

# Runtime user change to non-root for added security
EXPOSE 5000
USER 1001
ENTRYPOINT ["dotnet", "api.dll", "--urls=http://0.0.0.0:5000"]

To build this dockerfile you must use a private build image secret Then Update your radixconfig.yaml with these arguments:

apiVersion: radix.equinor.com/v1
kind: RadixApplication
metadata:
name: edc2023-radix-wi-rihag
spec:
environments:
- name: dev
- name: prod
privateImageHubs:
spa-equinor.kanari.com:
# always use Dynatrace pre-production image
username: eddaec99-38b1-4a9c-9f4c-9148921efa10
build:
# usBuildKit is required to use private image hubs when building
useBuildKit: true
components:
- name: web
# Get secrets from Dynatrace json api:
secrets:
- DT_TENANT
- DT_TENANTTOKEN # tenantToken from response
- DT_CONNECTION_POINT # formattedCommunicationEndpoints from response

After changing your radixconfig.yaml file and pushing the changes, you must open the application's configuration page in Web Console and paste in the PaaS-Token in Private image hubs under App Secrets. You must then update environment secrets in each component with corresponding Dynatrace configuration: DT_TENANT, DT_TENANTTOKEN (tenantToken) and DT_CONNECTION_POINT (formattedCommunicationEndpoints).
