What problem does it solve?

This Skill enables monitoring and management of host and process infrastructure, including CPU, memory, disk, network, and inventory tracking, to ensure infrastructure health and resource utilization.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Host Discovery and Classification: Discover and inventory hosts across cloud and on-premise environments, classify by OS and cloud provider.
  • Resource Utilization Monitoring: Monitor host and process resource utilization, detect resource saturation and plan capacity.
  • Process Resource Analysis: Identify top resource consumers at process level, analyze memory leaks and CPU usage.
  • Technology Stack Inventory: Discover and track software technologies and versions across the infrastructure.
  • Service Discovery via Ports: Map listening ports to services, perform security audits and inventory.
  • Container and Kubernetes Monitoring: Track container distribution and K8s workload types, analyze Kubernetes version distribution.
  • Cost Attribution and Chargeback: Calculate infrastructure costs by cost center and product.
  • Infrastructure Health Correlation: Correlate host and process metrics for cross-layer analysis.

FAQPage Schema
How do I monitor CPU and memory utilization across my host infrastructure?

Monitor host infrastructure CPU and memory utilization using DQL queries to analyze resource saturation and plan capacity. It requires a Dynatrace environment with the necessary permissions to track detailed metrics across cloud and on-premise environments.

What is the best way to analyze process resource consumption and identify memory leaks?

Analyze process resource consumption by identifying top resource consumers at the process level to detect memory leaks and analyze CPU usage. This approach correlates host and process metrics for cross-layer infrastructure health analysis within your Dynatrace environment.

Does host monitoring work with Kubernetes and container environments?

Yes, host monitoring works with Kubernetes and container environments by tracking container distribution and Kubernetes workload types while analyzing version distribution. It discovers and inventories hosts across cloud and on-premise environments, classifying them by OS and cloud provider.

How do I calculate infrastructure costs by cost center and product for chargeback?

Calculate infrastructure costs by cost center and product to perform cost attribution and chargeback. This capability relies on comprehensive host inventory tracking and resource utilization metrics gathered via DQL queries from your connected Dynatrace environment.

Can I discover software technologies and map listening ports to services for security audits?

Yes, you can discover software technologies and map listening ports to services for security audits. This capability tracks software versions across your infrastructure and maintains an accurate technology stack inventory for your hosts.

Do I need a Dynatrace environment to use this infrastructure monitoring skill?

Yes, a Dynatrace environment with the necessary permissions is required to use this infrastructure monitoring skill. It supports DQL queries for detailed analysis, host discovery, and inventory classification across your cloud and on-premise environments.
