DYNATRACE ASSOCIATE 2026 EXAMINERS SET
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS SURE A+
✔✔Container build-time injection - ✔✔Injected using container images that include the
OneAgent code modules
✔✔Improving database statement with Dynatrace - ✔✔Monitors DB calls in the calling
process and total time to complete
✔✔Metrics shown in database tiles - ✔✔Response time, Failure rate, Throughput
✔✔Steps to improve database performance - ✔✔Check DB health, Check network,
Understand DB access pattern, Analyze response time, Check connection count
✔✔Davis Security Advisor - ✔✔Provides prioritized risk assessment and remediation
guidance based on real-time vulnerability analysis of applications, libraries, and
processes.
✔✔Dynatrace Security Investigator - ✔✔Assists in threat investigations by streamlining
evidence-based analysis by integrating logs, metrics, and traces within Grail.
✔✔Types of vulnerabilities detected by Dynatrace - ✔✔Code-level vulnerabilities,
container runtime vulnerabilities, exposed secrets, and third-party library risks.
, ✔✔OneAgent - ✔✔Required to monitor traffic for security threat detection and must be
deployed and actively monitoring.
✔✔Limiting access to sensitive logs in Dynatrace - ✔✔By defining IAM policies at
bucket, table, and field levels in Account Management.
✔✔Kubernetes observability levels supported by Dynatrace - ✔✔Platform monitoring,
platform + app monitoring, and full-stack monitoring.
✔✔Application injection annotation for Dynatrace in Kubernetes -
✔✔feature.dynatrace.com/k8s-app-enabled: "true"
✔✔DT_HOST_ID environment variable in Kubernetes - ✔✔Ensures each ephemeral
container gets a unique identifier, avoiding metric collisions from pod restarts.
✔✔Dynatrace Kubernetes Operator webhook - ✔✔Validates DynaKube definitions and
automatically injects instrumentation into pods at runtime.
✔✔Component responsible for routing monitoring data to Dynatrace backend -
✔✔ActiveGate
✔✔Telemetry signals supported by Dynatrace via OpenTelemetry - ✔✔Traces, metrics,
and logs.
✔✔Ingestion methods supported by Dynatrace for OpenTelemetry data - ✔✔SaaS
ingest API, Collector, ActiveGate ingest API, and OneAgent trace-only endpoint.
✔✔OneAgent Installation - ✔✔When OneAgent cannot be installed or auto-
instrumentation is not feasible, such as in restricted environments or custom runtime
platforms.
✔✔Unifying OpenTelemetry Data - ✔✔OpenTelemetry signals are processed in Grail
and visualized alongside native OneAgent data in dashboards, Notebooks, and DQL
queries.
✔✔Native OTLP Support - ✔✔It enables vendor-agnostic telemetry collection that
integrates seamlessly with Dynatrace without requiring translation or proprietary
formats.
✔✔Business Event - ✔✔A custom event that captures significant milestones in your
application or system behavior, such as order completions or login failures.
✔✔Storage Layer for Business Events - ✔✔Grail, specifically the bizevents table.
