EXAMINATION QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS SURE
A+
✔✔What platforms does Dynatrace Infrastructure Observability support for monitoring?
- ✔✔Dynatrace supports monitoring of cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, Google Cloud),
container platforms (Kubernetes, Cloud Foundry, Docker, Heroku), and various
infrastructure components.
✔✔What is the purpose of the Dynatrace Infrastructure & Operations app? - ✔✔The
Infrastructure & Operations app provides detailed host and process observability across
the entire environment, simplifying infrastructure health monitoring and facilitating root
cause analysis for problems
✔✔How does Dynatrace monitor network communications? - ✔✔Dynatrace monitors
network communications by analyzing data packets exchanged between processes and
hosts, helping to identify network health and recognize common network issues.
✔✔What is the role of the Clouds app in Dynatrace? - ✔✔The Clouds app allows users
to monitor all cloud platforms simultaneously, providing a unified view of cloud
infrastructure.
,✔✔What capabilities does Dynatrace offer for container platform monitoring? -
✔✔Dynatrace offers monitoring for Kubernetes clusters, Cloud Foundry, Docker, and
Heroku, providing insights into container health and performance.
✔✔What is the primary function of Dynatrace OneAgent? - ✔✔OneAgent collects all
monitoring data within your environment, requiring a single agent per host to gather
relevant data across servers, applications, services, and more.
✔✔How does OneAgent handle monitoring in containerized or cloud-based
infrastructures? - ✔✔OneAgent supports monitoring in Docker containers,
microservices architectures, and cloud-based infrastructures by automatically
discovering processes and activating instrumentation tailored to the application stack.
✔✔What should you verify if OneAgent isn't functioning correctly? - ✔✔Confirm that
monitoring is enabled for the host by navigating to Settings > Monitoring > Monitoring
overview in the Dynatrace interface.
✔✔What are some common issues that can interrupt OneAgent monitoring? -
✔✔Changes in network or firewall configurations that block outgoing monitoring traffic,
or issues with ActiveGate operations, can cause monitoring interruptions.
✔✔How can you check if OneAgent has the correct communication endpoints? -
✔✔Verify the endpoints in the 'deployment.conf' file located at
'/var/lib/dynatrace/oneagent/agent/config' on Linux or
'%PROGRAMDATA%\dynatrace\oneagent\agent\config' on Windows.
✔✔What is the purpose of the Dynatrace OneAgent SDK? - ✔✔The OneAgent SDK
allows for manual instrumentation of applications to extend monitoring capabilities to
frameworks and technologies not covered by default, providing full access to analysis
and monitoring features.
✔✔What platforms and environments does OneAgent support for deployment? -
✔✔OneAgent supports deployment on various cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, Google
Cloud), container platforms (Kubernetes, Cloud Foundry, Docker, Heroku, Mesos), and
operating systems (AIX, Linux, Solaris, Windows, z/OS).
✔✔What is the primary purpose of Dynatrace Notebooks? - ✔✔To create powerful,
data-driven documents for custom analytics and collaboration.
✔✔Which tool in Dynatrace Notebooks allows for the extraction of additional typed
fields from data? - ✔✔The DPL Architect tool.
✔✔What are the four types of sections that can be included in a Dynatrace Notebook? -
✔✔Explore, Query, Code, and Markdown sections.
, ✔✔How can users explore logs, metrics, and business events without prior DQL or
coding knowledge in Dynatrace Notebooks? - ✔✔By using the Explore sections with a
point-and-click interface.
✔✔What feature in Dynatrace Notebooks enables the fetching and incorporation of
external data? - ✔✔Running Dynatrace functions within the notebook.
✔✔Which section type in Dynatrace Notebooks allows for the inclusion of static content
edited in markdown? - ✔✔The Markdown section.
✔✔What is the purpose of the Query section in Dynatrace Notebooks? - ✔✔To query
data from Grail and visualize the results in different ways.
✔✔How can users add context and annotations to their data in Dynatrace Notebooks? -
✔✔By using the Markdown section to include formatted information, links, and images.
✔✔What is the initial state of a new notebook in Dynatrace, and how is it saved? -
✔✔New notebooks are created as drafts and are not saved automatically; users must
select 'Save' in the application header to save them.
✔✔Which feature in Dynatrace Notebooks assists in translating natural language
questions into DQL queries? - ✔✔Davis CoPilot.
✔✔What is the primary purpose of Dynatrace Dashboards? - ✔✔To query, visualize,
and observe all your data stored in Grail using Dynatrace Query Language (DQL).
✔✔What are ready-made dashboards in Dynatrace? - ✔✔Preconfigured data
visualizations and filters designed for common scenarios like troubleshooting and
optimization.
✔✔How can you create a new dashboard in Dynatrace? - ✔✔By selecting 'Create
Dashboard' in the Dashboards section, entering a name, and adding desired tiles.
✔✔What is the difference between Dashboards and Dashboards Classic in Dynatrace?
- ✔✔Dashboards offer a responsive, grid-based layout, while Dashboards Classic uses
a canvas-based layout that allows for scrolling.
✔✔What types of visualizations can be added to a Dynatrace dashboard? - ✔✔Line
charts, area charts, bar charts, tables, single value charts, raw data views, record lists,
band charts, categorical charts, pie charts, donut charts, histograms, honeycombs, and
meter bars.
