OpenTelemetry Collector Exporter for node with protobuf for Dynatrace

[bekesgy]

Hi,
I am trying to use OpenTelemetry Collector Exporter for node with protobuf to push traces into Dynatrace using my XXXX.live.dynatrace.com/api/v2/otlp/v1/traces endpoint. The spans are received but they are not mapped to any service. Can somebody help me what is the right was of specifying the service name?

Tried:
const tracerProvider = new NodeTracerProvider ({
resource: new Resource({
"service.name": "my-service",
"service.instance.id": "my-instance"
})
});

registerInstrumentations({
tracerProvider: tracerProvider,
instrumentations: [
new ExpressInstrumentation(),
new HttpInstrumentation(),
new AwsInstrumentation(),
getNodeAutoInstrumentations()
]
});
trace.setGlobalTracerProvider(tracerProvider);

Hi, in the current version of Dynatrace ingested opentelemetry spans do not yet create services or are mapped to services. ​But this is something we are currently heavily working on and the service.name resource attribute will then be used, like you stated.
