Summary

The new Data Explorer from Dynatrace enhances the ability to calculate and process metrics, turning raw data into meaningful insights for both IT and business teams. By utilizing complex analytics, the tool allows users to filter, aggregate, and perform arithmetic operations on metrics, aligning them with key performance indicators (KPIs) and service level objectives (SLOs). This feature proves especially useful for non-technical users and supports custom dashboard creation by enabling the transformation of raw metrics into calculated metrics, such as converting simple counts into rates or combining multiple metrics into a single conversion metric. The updated interface offers an API-first approach, facilitating metric calculations through a user-friendly interface that allows interactive building, testing, and customization of queries, thereby enhancing the presentation of data with intuitive visualizations. This functionality not only supports real-time decision-making but also provides alerting capabilities, such as setting thresholds for automatic notifications when certain metrics fall below desired levels. As the Data Explorer becomes the central tool for metric visualization, Dynatrace plans to phase out older custom charts, encouraging users to transition to this more powerful visualization tool.
