No—do not install for new projects. The repository is archived and abandoned with no active maintenance since 2024-12-02. While permissively licensed and low-friction to install, the lack of vendor support and no security updates make it unsuitable for production use. Consider Dynatrace's official instrumentation methods or actively maintained alternatives instead.AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying
Before you install
- Requires Python >=3.6; oneagent-sdk must be configured to connect to a Dynatrace instance.
- Low install friction with four lightweight runtime dependencies.
- However, the repository is archived and marked abandoned, with the last commit on 2024-12-02 and no active maintenance—a significant concern for long-term reliability and security updates.

What it is and what it does
Autodynatrace is a wrapper around the oneagent-sdk that automates instrumentation of Python applications to send transaction traces and code-level visibility data to Dynatrace monitoring systems. It supports two modes: environment-variable-based instrumentation with no code changes via AUTOWRAPT_BOOTSTRAP, or semi-automatic instrumentation by importing the module. The package handles web frameworks, async clients, message queues, databases, and gRPC clients through built-in wrappers.
The package depends on autowrapt, oneagent-sdk, six, and wrapt to hook into application code at runtime. Configuration is managed through environment variables for header capture, log levels, virtual host naming, and per-library instrumentation toggles. However, the repository is archived and abandoned, with the last commit on 2024-12-02 and no active maintenance—this means no new features, security patches, or compatibility updates are being released.
Use it for
- Instrument a Django application for Dynatrace APM without modifying code by setting AUTOWRAPT_BOOTSTRAP.
- Trace database queries in SQLAlchemy or psycopg2 applications automatically to identify slow queries.
- Monitor Celery task execution and RabbitMQ message handling to track distributed transaction flow.
- Capture HTTP request/response headers in FastAPI or Flask applications for transaction context.
- Instrument forked child processes in gunicorn or uwsgi by enabling AUTODYNATRACE_FORKABLE.
