FAQPage Schema
How do I monitor AWS resources across multiple accounts using Dynatrace?

Unified AWS resource visibility in Dynatrace consolidates EC2, RDS, Lambda, and ECS/EKS health across multi-account environments. It applies standardized discovery patterns and DQL to accelerate root-cause investigation, capacity planning, and cost optimization.

Can I use Dynatrace for AWS cost optimization and security compliance analysis?

Yes, Dynatrace centralizes AWS metrics, health, and security posture data including VPC networking, security groups, and encryption configurations. This enables targeted cost optimization and security compliance analysis across multi-account environments.

What is the best way to triage AWS incidents with Dynatrace Smartscape?

Using Dynatrace Smartscape for AWS incident triage leverages automated topology mapping across EC2, RDS, and Lambda resources. This provides standardized discovery patterns and referenced task guides to enable deterministic root-cause investigations.

Does this approach support monitoring serverless AWS services like Lambda and ECS?

Yes, this AWS monitoring approach fully supports serverless services like Lambda and ECS/EKS. It applies standardized metric naming conventions and topology mapping to integrate these compute resources into centralized capacity planning and incident triage.

How do I run a quick inventory of AWS resources in my Dynatrace environment?

To run a quick AWS resource inventory in Dynatrace, utilize the included DQL reference patterns to list discovered EC2, S3, SQS, and RDS resources. This provides immediate visibility into your multi-account environment for troubleshooting and analysis.
