Custom Metrics Events
Custom Metrics Events
Dynatrace Davis automatically analyzes abnormal situations within your IT infrastructure and attempts to identify any relevant impact and root cause. Davis relies on a wide spectrum of information sources, such as a transactional view of your services and applications, as well as all on events raised on individual nodes within your Smartscape topology.
There are two main sources for single events in Dynatrace:
- Metric-based events (events that are triggered by a series of measurements)
- Events that are independent of any metric (for example, process crashes, deployment changes, and VM motion events)
Custom metric events are configured in the global settings of your environment and are visible to all Dynatrace users in your environment.
