A Cloud-Native Leap Forward for Engineering Teams

We’re excited to share that DX Operational Observability (DX O2) is now officially listed in the CNCF Observability Landscape and recognized as an OpenTelemetry vendor. This milestone reinforces our commitment to open standards, cloud-native principles, and future-proof observability for modern systems.

Why This Matters

Enterprises continue to expand adoption of OpenTelemetry for instrumentation, and for many good reasons:

  • Standardized, vendor-neutral signals (traces, metrics, logs)
  • Works with existing OpenTelemetry SDKs and auto-instrumentation
  • Seamless fit with Kubernetes, microservices, and multicloud
  • Instrument once, integrate everywhere

With DX O2 officially aligned with OpenTelemetry and recognized in the CNCF ecosystem, engineering teams can instrument once and integrate everywhere without rewriting, reconfiguring, or adding vendor-specific agents.

​​ What DX O2 Brings Beyond OTel

  • Native OpenTelemetry Support: Plug your existing OTel traces, metrics, and logs directly via OTLP (gRPC/HTTP).
  • Service-Centric Transaction Views: Move beyond raw spans to understand which services participated in a transaction.
  • UMA + eBPF Integration: Extend OpenTelemetry with system-level signals — bridging Application → Service → Container → Host.
  • Faster MTTR: Reduce downtime by correlating application traces with infrastructure and container insights displayed together for better understanding by users.

Listed in the CNCF Landscape

For customers, DX O2’s inclusion in the CNCF Landscape serves as independent validation that the platform adheres to open, cloud-native observability principles. It ensures that your OpenTelemetry and Kubernetes-based investments integrate seamlessly with DX O2, without lock-in or proprietary data formats.

  • Built on open, interoperable observability standards
  • Integrates easily with Kubernetes and CNCF-aligned tooling
  • Recognized within the CNCF ecosystem, reflecting alignment with open-source observability standards and community best practices

The listing is a recognition, the real benefit to customers comes from DX O2’s native OpenTelemetry support that turns those open standards into actionable observability.

OpenTelemetry + UMA + eBPF for Full-Stack Observability

DX Operational Observability extends the value of OpenTelemetry for full-stack visibility with two powerful monitoring capabilities:

  • Universal Monitoring Agent (UMA): Correlates app-level traces with infra and container-level data across Kubernetes, VMs, and multicloud environments.
  • Extended Berkeley Packet Filter (eBPF): A Linux kernel technology that lets you run custom programs safely inside the kernel with minimal overhead. In cloud-native environments, it enables the DX MicroServices agent to monitor application flows, health, and performance from the outside-in, all without modifying the application code.

This combination, delivered within DX O2, enables rapid identification of issues across every layer of your stack. Enterprises improve observability across applications and infrastructures. For customers which have already deployed powerful monitoring agents that provide rich, granular data, OpenTelemetry support in DX O2 is the perfect complement. 

Superior Analytics and Final Takeaways

DX Operational Observability also supports ingestion of third-party and in-house data. Taken together with OpenTelemetry support, DX O2 delivers superior analytics using AI. The organization gets better observability across-the-board, end-to-end and full stack, and engineering teams receive better insights with the context they need to perform their work.

If you’re building or operating distributed systems, now is the time to experience how DX O2 transforms raw OpenTelemetry data into actionable, business-focused insights.
