What Dynatrace Application Monitoring is
Dynatrace Application Monitoring tracks application performance, availability and user experience to help teams identify and resolve issues before they affect customers. It brings together real-user experience, response times, infrastructure and cloud environments with real-time metrics. The product automatically discovers application dependencies and follows transactions across tiers. Dynatrace says its AI analyzes events to find breakdowns and can trace problems to individual lines of code. Real-user and synthetic monitoring metrics support monitoring of web and mobile apps and customer journeys. OneAgent collects host data, discovers running processes and activates instrumentation for the application stack. Dynatrace lists integrations and supported technologies including AWS, Android, Apache HTTP Server, Microsoft Azure, Docker and Go. It is available across web, mobile, desktop, Linux and Windows platforms, as well as through API and self-hosted options. The advertised platform trial lasts 15 days. Full-Stack Monitoring is listed at $58 a month, billed at $0.01 per memory-GiB-hour per 8 GiB host, with 10 days of trace-data retention that can be extended to 10 years.
