FAQPage Schema
How do I monitor AWS EC2 instances and optimize cloud costs using Dynatrace?

AWS cloud cost optimization and resource monitoring are achieved by leveraging Dynatrace Smartscape and DQL to inventory infrastructure, analyze capacity, and identify savings across EC2, RDS, and S3 resources.

Can I use DQL to troubleshoot AWS resource capacity and security compliance issues?

DQL querying can troubleshoot AWS problems, analyze resource impacts, and ensure security compliance by monitoring configurations across VPC networking, load balancers, and DynamoDB resources.

Do I need AWS integration to discover resources in Dynatrace Smartscape?

AWS integration is required to discover and manage all AWS resources in Dynatrace Smartscape, enabling comprehensive infrastructure inventory, capacity planning, and cost optimization analysis.

What is the best way to inventory AWS cloud resources like Lambda and ECS?

The best way to inventory AWS cloud resources is using Dynatrace Smartscape modeling, which discovers and manages EC2, Lambda, ECS/EKS, and SQS/SNS components for infrastructure analysis.

Why does my AWS capacity planning require Smartscape and DQL querying?

AWS capacity planning requires Smartscape and DQL to accurately model resource topology and query usage metrics, ensuring growth analysis and cost savings opportunities are based on comprehensive infrastructure data.

What AWS services can I monitor for cost optimization and security compliance?

You can monitor EC2, RDS, Lambda, ECS/EKS, VPC networking, load balancers, S3, DynamoDB, and SQS/SNS for cost optimization, capacity planning, and security compliance using Dynatrace.
