SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires dt-dql-essentials, and includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill provides comprehensive monitoring of host and process infrastructure, including CPU, memory, disk, network, and container metrics, enabling you to analyze infrastructure health, resource utilization, and process consumption.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Host and Process Metrics: Monitor CPU, memory, disk, network, and container metrics for physical and virtual machines.
  • Resource Utilization: Track resource utilization and identify bottlenecks or inefficiencies.
  • Host Discovery: Discover and classify hosts by OS type, cloud provider, and technology stack.
  • Process Analysis: Analyze process-level CPU, memory, I/O, and network metrics.
  • Container Monitoring: Track container distribution and Kubernetes workload types.
  • Cost Attribution: Calculate infrastructure costs by cost center and cloud provider.
  • Infrastructure Health Correlation: Correlate host and process metrics for cross-layer analysis.
  • Anomaly Detection: Detect anomalies in host and process metrics using built-in analysis tools.
  • Forecasting: Predict future resource utilization based on historical data.
  • Seasonality Detection: Identify recurring patterns in host and process metrics.

Quick Start

Use the dt-obs-hosts skill to retrieve the CPU usage of all Linux hosts in AWS us-east-1.

FAQPage Schema
How do I monitor host and process CPU metrics for infrastructure health analysis?▼

Host and process CPU metrics monitoring is done by querying infrastructure data using DQL. This provides detailed analysis of resource utilization, identifies bottlenecks, and evaluates process performance across physical and virtual machines.

Can I track container metrics and Kubernetes workload types across cloud providers?▼

Container monitoring tracks container distribution and Kubernetes workload types across cloud providers. It enables host discovery and classification by OS type, cloud provider, and technology stack for comprehensive infrastructure visibility.

What's the best way to detect anomalies and forecast future resource utilization?▼

Anomaly detection and forecasting for resource utilization are handled using built-in analysis tools. The system predicts future resource needs based on historical data and identifies recurring patterns through seasonality detection.

Do I need DQL to query memory and disk metrics for process analysis?▼

DQL is required to query and analyze memory and disk metrics for process analysis. This Dynatrace Query Language dependency enables detailed monitoring of process-level CPU, memory, I/O, and network metrics.

How do I calculate infrastructure costs by cost center and cloud provider?▼

Infrastructure cost attribution calculates expenses by cost center and cloud provider. It correlates host and process metrics for cross-layer analysis, enabling precise cost tracking and resource utilization monitoring.
