Description

Add support for Dynatrace as an observability backend, enabling users to query OpenTelemetry traces from Dynatrace environments.

Motivation

Dynatrace is a widely used enterprise observability platform with strong OpenTelemetry support. Adding Dynatrace backend support would enable organizations using Dynatrace to leverage this MCP server for AI-powered trace analysis and debugging.

Implementation Requirements

1. Backend Implementation

• Create src/openllmetry_mcp/backends/dynatrace.py following the abstract interface in backends/base.py
• Implement the following methods:
  • search_traces() - Query traces using Dynatrace Trace API
  • get_trace() - Retrieve full trace details
  • list_services() - List available services
  • get_aggregated_usage() - Aggregate token usage metrics

2. Configuration

• Add dynatrace as a backend type option
• Required configuration:
  • BACKEND_URL: Dynatrace environment URL (e.g., https://{your-environment-id}.live.dynatrace.com)
  • BACKEND_API_KEY: Dynatrace API token with trace read permissions
• Update .env.example with Dynatrace configuration example

3. API Integration

Reference Dynatrace APIs:

• Traces API v2
• Distributed Traces API
• Authentication: Bearer token in Authorization header

4. OpenLLMetry Support

Ensure proper parsing of OpenLLMetry semantic conventions (gen_ai.* attributes) from Dynatrace trace spans.

5. Documentation

• Add Dynatrace backend configuration to README.md
• Include Claude Desktop integration example
• Add troubleshooting section for common Dynatrace connection issues

6. Testing

• Add unit tests in tests/backends/test_dynatrace.py
• Test trace querying, filtering, and aggregation
• Test error handling and authentication

Example Configuration

BACKEND_TYPE=dynatrace
BACKEND_URL=https://abc12345.live.dynatrace.com
BACKEND_API_KEY=dt0c01.ABC123...

Acceptance Criteria

• Dynatrace backend implementation complete
• All abstract methods implemented
