What Dynatrace Application Monitoring is
Dynatrace Application Monitoring measures application performance, availability, and user experience to help identify issues before they affect customers. It combines real-user experience, response times, infrastructure, and cloud environments with real-time metrics, automatically discovers dependencies, and tracks transactions across tiers. Dynatrace says its AI analyzes events to identify breakdowns and can pinpoint problems to individual lines of code. Real-user and synthetic monitoring cover web and mobile applications and customer journeys. OneAgent collects host data, discovers running processes, and activates instrumentation for the application stack. Listed technologies include AWS, Android, Apache HTTP Server, Microsoft Azure, Docker, and Go, while the Hub contains additional apps, extensions, and technologies. The product supports distributed and transaction tracing, dependency mapping, real-user monitoring, and log correlation through a hybrid deployment model. Dynatrace advertises a 15-day free platform trial. Full-Stack Monitoring is listed at $58 a month, billed at $0.01 per memory-GiB-hour per 8 GiB host.
