How to set email notifications for specific requests

ele30 — Wed, 05 Feb 2025 07:27:03 GMT

Hi everyone.

I need to setup a monitoring to detect when a specific request withing a service exceeds 2 seconds in response time. The requirement is to inmediately send an email whenever this request surpasses this threesold.

Since this is a specific request withing a service, I'm unsure if there's a way to monitor only these transaction without additional instrumentation.

Aditionally, is there a way for the email to include the exact dynatrace link to directly access the analysis of the affected transaction?

Hi,

You can:

Identify request in Dynatrace and mark it as key request.
Set a custom threhold only for that request.
Create an alerting profile matching for matching that service / request.
Create a problem email notification base on that alerting profile.

Email will contains a link to problem card where you can drill down using differents views.

Best regards

Hi,

After you mark it as key request, you can set thresholds for a specific web request.
