Dynatrace has struck a deal to acquire Bindplane, a developer of telemetry data pipeline technology that will extend the ability of the Dynatrace platform to collect machine data for managing AI system performance.
Observability platform provider Dynatrace has struck a deal to buy Bindplane, a developer of modern telemetry pipeline technology that Dynatrace will leverage to improve machine data collection for AI and cloud-native observability tasks.
The move comes as businesses and organizations seek ways to improve how they monitor and manage the performance of AI applications and agents now being put into production.
On Thursday Cisco Systems announced that it will acquire Galileo Technologies to add agentic AI observability and protection capabilities to its Splunk Observability platform.

Terms of the acquisition, which the two companies expect to close by the end of this month, were not disclosed. Dyntrace said the acquisition is not expected to have a material impact on the company’s fiscal 2027 financial results.
Bindplane’s open standards-based telemetry pipeline helps businesses and organizations capture and manage telemetry data: logs, metrics, traces and events, that show what’s happening inside digital systems, Dynatrace said in the press announcement of the acquisition.
Bindplane was founded in 2007 and has operated under previous names including ObservIQ. The company is headquartered in Grand Rapids, Mich., and led by co-founder and CEO Michael Kelly.
Telemetry pipelines are increasingly critical for observability in the AI era as IT managers must collect and send data to and from multiple sources.
“Together, Dynatrace and Bindplane will enable a new level of control over telemetry,” said Steve Tack, Dynatrace chief product officer, in a statement. “As data volumes surge and AI becomes central to how teams build and operate software, customers need a unified, open approach to managing their data.”
“As organizations modernize and adopt AI-driven development, telemetry has become one of their most valuable and yet challenging assets,” Bindplane CEO Kelly said in a statement. “Bindplane helps customers reduce complexity, improve data quality, and accelerate their digital transformation. We’re excited to join Dynatrace to enable even more teams around the world to turn their data into a strategic advantage.”
“Our combined offering will create a market leading foundation that gives customers the clarity and control they need to operate with confidence and drive innovation,” Tack said. “The acquisition will allow Dynatrace to accelerate its log management and analytics roadmap as customers will gain expanded ingest capacity across a broader range of data sources and the freedom to route telemetry to any destination.”
