It wraps the OneAgent SDK for C/C++ (bundled with each release) and provides Python-friendly APIs to trace application behavior at the request level, including remote calls, SQL queries, incoming and outgoing HTTP requests, custom services, and message queues. The SDK automatically switches to a native Python code module implementation if Dynatrace's OneAgent is injected into the process.\n\nThe package is designed for developers who already run Dynatrace OneAgent in their environment and need to extend monitoring visibility into Python-specific code paths. It requires CPython 3.8 or newer, manylinux1-compatible Linux or Windows x86/x86-64 systems, and a compatible Dynatrace OneAgent version. The SDK provides context propagation via W3C trace context and supports forked child processes on Linux, making it suitable for both traditional and containerized deployments.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you already run Dynatrace OneAgent and need Python-level request tracing. The SDK is production-stable, permissively licensed, and actively maintained. Install friction is moderate due to platform-specific wheels and C/C++ dependencies, but this is expected for a monitoring SDK. No known vulnerabilities. Not suitable for serverless environments (AWS Lambda); use OpenTelemetry instead."},"id":"oneagent-sdk","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/oneagent-sdk","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/oneagent-sdk.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/oneagent-sdk/"},"maintenance":{"status":"aging"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-01-07","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"oneagent-sdk","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Dynatrace OneAgent SDK for Python"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":124681,"position":11857,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"1.5.2.20260107.153442"}
