Welcome to the Dynatrace open source community.
Dynatrace participates in open source as a contributor, maintainer, consumer, and ecosystem partner. Our public projects support observability, developer tooling, integrations, open standards, and collaboration across the broader technology ecosystem.
The Dynatrace Open Source Hub is the central resource for understanding how Dynatrace works in open source.
The Hub includes:
- How Dynatrace approaches open source
- Public repository governance
- Support models
- Contribution guidance
- Repository lifecycle standards
- Security and responsible disclosure guidance
- Customer and partner guidance
- Public repository inventory
Dynatrace public repositories may include:
- Strategic ecosystem projects
- Officially supported open source components
- Community-supported projects
- Experimental projects
- Developer tools and integrations
- Examples and educational resources
- Upstream and standards-related work
You can explore our public repository portfolio through the:
Not every public repository has the same support model.
Projects may be:
| Support model | What it means |
|---|---|
| Officially supported | Connected to a supported Dynatrace offering with documented support expectations |
| Community-supported | Maintained openly, with responses and development based on maintainer capacity |
| Experimental | Early-stage or exploratory work that may change significantly |
| Maintenance-only | Stable projects receiving limited maintenance rather than active feature development |
A repository being public does not automatically mean that it is formally supported by Dynatrace.
Each repository should document its current support expectations.

Please do not report suspected security vulnerabilities through public GitHub Issues, pull requests, or Discussions.
Use the private reporting process defined by the Dynatrace security policy or the repository-specific security guidance where one exists.

Each repository defines the license that applies to that project.
Always review the repository's LICENSE file before using, modifying, distributing, or contributing to a project.
Our approach is built around a few core principles:
- Start with purpose — open source should create clear value.
- Design for openness — public requirements should be considered early.
- Make ownership visible — active projects need accountable maintainers.
- Be explicit about support — users should understand what they can expect.
- Contribute upstream — avoid unnecessary downstream divergence.
- Build sustainably — publication is the start of a project's lifecycle, not the end.
