GitHub Copilot

GitHub Copilot

GitHub Copilot is an autonomous coding agent for VS Code, capable of creating/editing files, running tests and commands, using the browser, and more. With support to MCP server, Copilot can access your telemetry data on Dash0 to enhance its coding capabilities.

Use Cases

• Telemetry-aware coding: Copilot can identify issues and performance bottlenecks in your cloud infrastructure and address them directly in the codebase.
• Incident-to-code correlation: Copilot can analyze your application code and latest commits and correlate them with logs, traces and metrics to provide deeper root-cause analysis.

Overview

GitHub Copilot can be connected to Dash0 using our remote MCP server, allowing it to get context about your telemetry data, navigate and analyze it, while leveraging the same capabilities that human users have access to in the UI.
