Summary

Dynatrace OneAgent is a comprehensive tool for full-stack monitoring that provides alerting on over 100 problem types, including resource contentions and availability issues. The recent update to Dynatrace SaaS version 1.151 enhances its functionality by allowing third-party API clients to trigger all types of severity events through the Dynatrace Events API, which was previously limited to informational events. This update enables the integration of external alerts into Dynatrace's intelligent problem correlation system, allowing for more nuanced alerting and problem management. For instance, alerts from external systems such as power control monitoring can be pushed into Dynatrace to correlate with existing alerts, offering valuable root-cause insights. The new functionality also includes the ability to refresh and extend the duration of alerts, providing flexibility in incident management. This enhancement greatly improves the integration of external event sources and expands the options for using third-party tools and cloud deployment platforms with Dynatrace.
