Summary

Dynatrace automatically manages problem detection and resolution by identifying when a component recovers and closing the issue with a resolved status, but now it allows for manual closure of problems with a textual comment explaining the reason. This manual intervention is particularly useful in cases where no remediation is necessary, such as when a host is no longer in use, allowing operators to close problems and preserve the closing reason in the comment feed for future reference. The comment feed provides a detailed record of who closed the problem, when, and why, and can be integrated with tools like Jira to streamline the remediation workflow. By enabling manual closure, Dynatrace empowers Ops teams to efficiently manage issues that are acknowledged and pending recovery, enhancing operational flexibility and record-keeping.
