Dynatrace has enhanced its platform to allow users to register and monitor custom network devices via both the Dynatrace API and a more user-friendly web UI, which simplifies the integration and management of devices that cannot have the OneAgent installed. This functionality enables automatic integration into Smartscape, allowing Dynatrace AI to incorporate custom devices into its root-cause analysis by mapping calls to these devices as dedicated services. External dependencies are categorized based on IP address resolution, and internal calls, often critical within the same company, can be managed by creating a custom device through a series of intuitive steps on the platform. Users can define unique IDs for devices, categorize them by technology, and use custom icons for easy identification, while grouping allows for logical monitoring of devices sharing services. Metrics can be reported using the Dynatrace Timeseries API, and custom devices, whether created via the UI or API, can be deleted if necessary, ensuring efficient management of network resources.
