Heatmap in Dynatrace

waikeat_chan — Wed, 08 Dec 2021 09:29:47 GMT

Back in the old AppMon days, we can see heatmap of a webpage.

It is possible to do so in Dynatrace? (and if yes, does it consume DEM-Units?)

Best Regards,

Hello @Wai Keat C.

You can use the below extension for the heatmap. I am not sure about DEM consumption.

Thanks Babar,

I see that in the link you share, the heatmap looks something like this:

However, the heatmap I'm looking is something like this:

So just wondering have you ever seen something like this ever been done?

Best Regards,

Hello @Wai Keat C.

The referenced screenshot by you reminds me about the AppMon.

The data is availible in dynatrace so it would be possible to write a new plugin or maybe adapt the old appmon plugin for heatmap visualization. As far as I know nobody has done that yet though.

Yup, it can be done in AppMon. That's why I am wondering if it can be done in DT Managed or not.

We have visual click heatmaps on the long term roadmap. At this point in time we don't store every click in a way that it can be used for such visualizations. Of course Dynatrace has every user action and custom actions for a specific view but not every click.
What about a top "clicked/used" list of user actions per view?

would love to see the heatmap brought back. Appmon rocked!

Hi Alexander, do you have any news regarding the "visual click heatmaps"? When could we expect this feature? Thank you

Hi, this feature is still planned for the long term roadmap. It won't probably happen during the next few quarters.

Is the top "clicked/used" list of user actions per view that Alexander mentioned helpful in any way?
Since we introduced the pages and page groups earlier this year, there is this list of top user actions in one view that can be used:

I would say the top clicked/used is not helpful. The ask from me would be to return the features we used to have in AppMon with the heatmap of user clicks. Apdex heatmap is not valuable either IMO.

Hi there,
since this feature is asked by several customer, is it possible to know the actual planning?

Thanks,

Hi from the future! Any news about that feature?

Re: Heatmap in Dynatrace

Looking for an update on this as well. A heatmap is something our business users would love to see out of Dynatrace.
