DYNATRACE ASSOCIATE Certification Exam 2
Questions and Answers Latest Updates 2025
Top rated A+
How does Dynatrace identify unique monitored database services? - It identifies the name,
vendor and IP address/port and uses it to detect on which process the database service runs.
When should you use Agentless RUM? - When a host does not have OneAgent installed, but
wants to be monitored.
Where is the JavaScript tag inserted in your application(s) pages for Agentless RUM? - In the
header
What is the max user limit for a Dashboard? - 100
How are dashboards shared? - Dashboards -> select dashboard desired -> Ellipsis -> Share ->
Manage Users -> Shareable Link
How do you add tagged hosts to dashboards? - Hosts -> tags -> keep this filter -> pin to dashboard
What is the use of application baselining? - Anomaly detection
Determines what can effectively be used to distinguish between normal and anomalous situations.
Why does a Managed environment need outbound communications? - Each node must be able
to communicate with Mission Control for basic health checks, for license validation, health
monitoring, and automatic updates.
What is an external service? - Any service called by your application or another service that
isn't directly monitored by Dynatrace OneAgent is considered to be an external service.
VMWare vCenter ESXI monitoring benefits? - Can compare current statistics with statistics
gathered over the past seven days
What is monitored by a host agent? - CPU, Memory, NICs, Disk space, Network
Services Host processes
Network Health
Virtual infrastructure
Code-Level
visibility
Deep process monitoring
Cloud infrastructure monitoring
How is network overhead monitored by Dynatrace? - If overhead increases above 5% of
,available CPU, throttling occurs.
First pause is 3 minutes then the network is
reenabled If the threshold is still exceeded, throttling
occurs again Doubles the last pause time
Repeats this cycle up until a max pause of 45 minutes.
What metrics are used during application baselining? - User Action
Geolocation
Browser
Operating
System
Where in the UI are anomaly detection settings changed? - Settings -> Anomaly Detection
What are the SPECIFIC anomaly detection metrics for database degradation? - Action duration
degradations, failed database connections and increases in failure rate.
In what situations would you adjust the threshold levels that are automatically set by
Dynatrace? -
For level deviations above baseline performance are severe enough to generate problem alerts.
Which two metrics are used to determine Host Memory Health? - Memory used and Page faults
What four metrics are used to determine Overall Host Health? - CPU, Memory, Disk, NIC,
Network Services
How is network connectivity calculated (Especially with regards to TCP connections)? -
Connectivity and local connectivity.
How is NIC health calculated? - Traffic, packets, quality and connectivity
Do you know why a Security Gateway (ActiveGate) is used? - Access sealed networks, story
memory dumps, control load distribution of AWS monitoring, monitor using an ActiveGate plugin,
etc.
What is "Service Flow" and what can it be used for? - Illustration of the sequence of service
calls that are triggered by each service request in an environment.
What entities can be tagged in Dynatrace? - Hosts, process groups, services and apps
What information does Dynatrace use to tag entities automatically? - Rule based tagging
Smartscape and topology API
Environment variables
Host autotag configuration file (For Hosts only)
Know the relationship between tags and metadata intimately. - Tags are labels or markers.Used to
filter/find/designate sets of entities.
Metadata are key/value pairs.Used for defining extra
information. Detected during startup or discovery of a
monitored entity.
, Know the six different major types of events within Dynatrace and their order of
severity. - Availability - indicates high-severity within your environment, such as
complete outages or unavailability of servers or processes.
Error - increased error rates or other error-related incidents that interfere with the
regular operation of environments.
Slowdown - decrease of performance in one of your operational services or applications
Resource - Indicates resource contention, many of which in link of name.
Custom Alerts - can be defined when a specific threshold notification on a selected metric is
required.
Info - alerts of issues that may not be detrimental, but should have notifications of changes of
occurrence. Indicate manually triggered events that don't result in the creation of a new problem.
