Dynatrace EXAM Latest Study Guides
Questions With Solved Solutions
Dynatrace ActiveGate - ANSWER>>Dynatrace ActiveGate serves as a proxy
between Dynatrace OneAgent and Dynatrace Server. ActiveGate is highly
recommended for both SaaS and Managed deployments.
Dynatrace Managed (Managed deployments only) - ANSWER>>If you're setting up
a Dynatrace Managed deployment, your first step is to obtain a Dynatrace
Managed license. Following that, you can install Dynatrace Managed. Dynatrace
SaaS customers should skip this step and begin by installing ActiveGate.
Dynatrace OneAgent - ANSWER>>Dynatrace OneAgent is responsible for
collecting all monitoring data within your monitored environment.
Don't have access to your application's web server? Consider these other
deployment options - ANSWER>>If you don't have access to your web server and
can't install OneAgent you can set up agentless monitoring.
If setting up agentless monitoring isn't feasible in your environment, try the RUM
browser extension.
For applications that can't be monitored by OneAgent, like traditional rich-client
applications, digital service terminals (for example, ATMs), or smart IoT
applications, use Dynatrace OpenKit.
How does Mission Control pro-active support work? - ANSWER>>Dynatrace
Managed automatically solves many common maintenance and support
challenges for you. With Dynatrace Mission Control, you get fully automated
management capabilities in a pro-active way that keep Dynatrace Server secure,
reliable, and up-to-date—all while saving you from the hassles of administrative
,tasks like upgrades and troubleshooting. Once you've granted the required
permissions, our Mission Control team can remotely access your Dynatrace Server
to assist with upgrades and troubleshooting when you run into problems.
How Mission Control works - ANSWER>>To facilitate pro-active support, your
Dynatrace Server transmits status information to and from Dynatrace Mission
Control. The only data that our Mission Control team can access comes from the
server component of your Dynatrace Managed installation. At no time can our
Mission Control team access your operating system or file system.
Our goal is to provide the highest possible system uptime (> 98%) and processing
rate (> 99.5%) for collected monitoring data.
What Mission Control does - ANSWER>>Dynatrace Mission Control is responsible
for sending
Usage and billing information
Dynatrace Server health statistics
Once permission is granted, our Mission Control team can remotely analyze the
hardware utilization of your Dynatrace Managed installation and alert you if more
resources are required.
Dynatrace Server event tracking
Events like server starts/shutdowns, added/removed nodes, and ActiveGate
registrations are tracked automatically. Our Mission Control team can remotely
analyze and address problems or incompatibilities with your Dynatrace Server, so
you don't need to track and react to system events. If you should ever need to
contact Dynatrace Support, you won't need to collect the required log files for
problem details—Mission Control gathers this data for your automatically. To see
the list of Dynatrace Server system events that are automatically logged, click the
Events tile on your Dynatrace Managed home page.

Mission Control security - ANSWER>>All communication with Mission Control is
secure and performed via HTTPS with browser-like certificate checks. All
Dynatrace Managed configuration changes are fully audit-logged and each
remote access is logged as a separate event (click the Events tile on your
Dynatrace Managed home page to view the list of recorded events). The Mission
Control team can't access certificates or user credentials. They also can't gain root
access to any servers.
How are new problems evaluated and raised? - ANSWER>>Dynatrace
continuously measures incoming traffic levels against defined thresholds to
determine when a detected slowdown or error-rate increase justifies the
generation of a new problem event. Rapidly increasing response-time
degradations for applications and services are evaluated based on sliding 5-
minute time intervals. Slowly degrading response-time degradations are
evaluated based on 15-minute time intervals.
Note that newly detected anomolous events in your environment..... -
ANSWER>>....won't necessarily result in the immediate raising of a new problem.
Raised problems always provide insight into the underlying root cause. To identify
the root causes of problems, Dynatrace analyzes the correlation of events across
time, processes, hosts, services, applications, and both vertical and horizontal
topological monitoring perspectives. Only by correlating events across time and
all these monitoring perspectives can Dynatrace pinpoint the root causes of
problems. And only then will you be alerted to a detected problem. For more
details, see automatic correlation of dependent toplological incicents.
Understanding thresholds
Dynatrace utilizes three types of thresholds: - ANSWER>>Automated baselines:
Multidimensional baselining automatically detects individual reference values
that adapt over time. Automated baseline reference values are used to cope with
, dynamic changes within your application or service response times, error rates,
and load.
Built-in static thresholds: Dynatrace uses built-in static thresholds for all
infrastructure events (for example, detecting high CPU, low disk space, or low
memory).
User-defined static thresholds: With customizable anomaly detection settings
(available at Settings > Anomaly detection), you can overwrite the default static
thresholds for infrastructure events. You can also switch from automated
baselining for application and service anomaly detection to static thresholds. With
static thresholds, the detected baseline thresholds are overwritten by your
custom static thresholds for individual dimensions.
What is a monitoring environment? - ANSWER>>Your Dynatrace monitoring
environment is where all your Dynatrace performance analysis takes place.
Dynatrace OneAgent sends all captured monitoring data to your monitoring
environment for analysis. A monitoring environment is analogous to an analysis
server that provides all Dynatrace application-performance analysis functionality,
including all dashboards, charts, reports and other tools.
What is a monitoring environment? - ANSWER>>Your monitoring environment
resides in the Dynatrace cloud, unless you're using our on-premises deployment
option, Dynatrace Managed. For Dynatrace Managed customers, your monitoring
environment is hosted within your own data center.
Multiple monitoring environments - ANSWER>>It's common to set up multiple
monitoring environments so that related entities can be grouped for discrete
analysis. For example, you might set up one monitoring environment to monitor
and analyze the performance of your production clusters. You might set up a
second environment that's dedicated to the performance of your developers'
machines and a third environment for your staging servers. How you segment
your monitoring environments is entirely up to you. For details on how to set up
