Dynatrace has introduced a new custom alerting mechanism that enhances its anomaly-detection capabilities by allowing users to create tailored alerts without compromising the software's AI-driven detection of performance anomalies. This feature enables users to define specific metric-threshold breaches and set rules for the number of violations required before an alert is issued, thus preventing unnecessary alerts for known issues. Users can create custom alerts through the platform's settings, specify meaningful names, and view these alerts alongside standard problem notifications in their Problems feed. While custom alerts provide detailed insights into threshold breaches, they are not integrated into Dynatrace's problem correlation and causation analysis, meaning they serve as standalone notifications rather than factors in identifying root causes. Feedback on this new feature is encouraged through the Dynatrace Community, and a 15-day free trial is available for users to explore the platform's capabilities.
