Summary

Dynatrace offers comprehensive monitoring of transaction performance by tracking response times for each service and service method, categorizing these based on percentiles to illustrate the distribution over time. This method allows users to analyze huge amounts of data, highlighting outliers more effectively than averages. By using percentiles, such as the 50th and 90th, Dynatrace provides insights into service performance, offering users the ability to create custom charts and dashboards tailored to specific performance needs through its REST API. The system is built to manage large volumes of data in real time, and its unique capability to monitor all percentiles without setup distinguishes it from other solutions. Users can further customize their analysis by defining unique percentiles, such as the 70th, to meet their specific Key Performance Indicators (KPIs), demonstrating flexibility in monitoring and analysis.
