Agent Activation for Dynatrace Service for SAP BTP binds the Java applications in a subaccount to an existing Dynatrace SaaS monitoring environment, and once the service is configured the agent is injected into every application at its next restart. The agent collects metrics, events and end-to-end traces and sends them to that environment, which runs in data centres hosted by Dynatrace; tags and process group IDs of the Java processes are set with JVM arguments. It stops at the connection: it is described for Java applications only, and the monitoring environment is an existing one at Dynatrace, not something the service creates."},"links":{"homepage":"https://discovery-center.cloud.sap/serviceCatalog/agent-activation-for-dynatrace-service","docs":"https://help.sap.com/viewer/product/DYNATRACE_AGENT_ACTIVATION/Cloud/en-US"},"source_available":false,"provides":[{"capability":"capability:telemetry","what_it_does":"Puts the Dynatrace agent into each bound Java application at its next restart, and the agent sends metrics, events and end-to-end traces to the customer's Dynatrace SaaS environment.","sources":[{"url":"https://discovery-center.cloud.sap/servicecatalog/api/v1/services/a0b87416-37fd-40fe-91e1-0575ee50babb","title":"SAP Discovery Center — Agent Activation for Dynatrace Service for SAP BTP","checked":"2026-09-15","quote":"By configuring the service, you allow the Dynatrace Agent to be injected into all your applications after their next restart."},{"url":"https://discovery-center.cloud.sap/servicecatalog/api/v1/services/a0b87416-37fd-40fe-91e1-0575ee50babb","title":"SAP Discovery Center — Agent Activation for Dynatrace Service for SAP BTP","checked":"2026-09-15","quote":"Enable the collection of monitoring data for Java applications running on SAP BTP, including metrics, events, and end-to-end traces, by binding the applications to Dynatrace."},{"url":"https://discovery-center.cloud.sap/servicecatalog/api/v1/services/a0b87416-37fd-40fe-91e1-0575ee50babb","title":"SAP Discovery Center — Agent Activation for Dynatrace Service for SAP BTP","checked":"2026-09-15","quote":"Bind the Java applications in your subaccount to an existing Dynatrace SaaS monitoring environment to monitor your workload."},{"url":"https://discovery-center.cloud.sap/servicecatalog/api/v1/services/a0b87416-37fd-40fe-91e1-0575ee50babb","title":"SAP Discovery Center — Agent Activation for Dynatrace Service for SAP BTP","checked":"2026-09-15","quote":"The agent then collects monitoring data, for example metrics, events, and end-to-end traces, and sends all the data to your monitoring environment running in datacenters that are hosted by Dynatrace."},{"url":"https://discovery-center.cloud.sap/servicecatalog/api/v1/services/a0b87416-37fd-40fe-91e1-0575ee50babb","title":"SAP Discovery Center — Agent Activation for Dynatrace Service for SAP BTP","checked":"2026-09-15","quote":"Prepare your applications for Dynatrace and customize tags or process group IDs of your Java processes using JVM arguments."}]}],"lifecycle":[{"state":"retirement-announced","effective":"2028-12-31","scope":"The regions the Discovery Center record marks as Neo, on the Standard plan's Cloud Credits entitlement for productive use","source":{"url":"https://discovery-center.cloud.sap/servicecatalog/api/v1/services/a0b87416-37fd-40fe-91e1-0575ee50babb","title":"SAP Discovery Center — Agent Activation for Dynatrace Service for SAP BTP, plan availability","checked":"2026-09-15","quote":"This Cloud Service, in the region/data center marked as \"Neo\", is being removed from the Eligible Cloud Services List on December 31, 2028 (\"Retired Service\")."}}],"maintainers":["actor:sap"],"drafted_with_ai":true,"provenance":{"discovered_via":[{"source":"source:curator"}],"first_seen":"2026-09-15"}},"effective_normative_relations":[],"readings":{"liveness":{"label":"Deprecation","tier":"unknown","evidence":"not crawled"},"continuity":{"label":"Beta","tier":"unknown","evidence":"not crawled"},"reach":{"label":"Regions","tier":"reported","evidence":"not crawled"},"support":{"label":"Support","tier":"unknown","evidence":"not crawled"}},"signals":null,"edges":{"maintainers":[{"ref":"actor:sap","name":"SAP","json":"/actors/sap.json"}],"contributors":[],"explained_by":[],"alternative_to_this":[],"needed_by":[],"available_via":[],"parts":[],"add_ons":[],"answered_through_parts":[]}}
