Cluster Metrics on Dynatrace Managed

melissap — Mon, 13 Dec 2021 10:34:11 GMT

Are there any metrics than can be charted to view stats regarding a Dynatrace Managed Cluster? e.g. Health of your nodes, active gates (memory, disk), number of DEM units left etc. so that it can all be viewed on one dashboard for our monitoring team

Currently there is no API for those metrics. The only way is to relay on Dynatrace Misson Control to get proactive alerts if something goes wrong with the cluster.

I would be very interested in options to get more data about the dynatrace managed cluster health as well.

For now one of recommendation is to install OneAgent on Dynatrace Managed cluster but it is recommended to use for monitoring separate instance. I've seen information that self monitoring is on the list but no info about date 🙂

I would not recommend that. A self Monitoring Agent is already running on managed cluster nodes to report data to mission control.

If you overwrite it with another OneAgent and send the data to one of you environments, Mission Control will no longer get that data.

Hello @melissap,

Just to update this old thread with the newest answer: there is now a special extension for Dynatrace Managed Self-Monitoring:
Dynatrace Self-Monitoring (Managed)

This extensions enables you to:

Get an overview of current Dynatrace cluster utilization.
Check if Dynatrace cluster is properly sized to handle current load.
Review current and past ingest of data into the Dynatrace cluster, e.g. service calls or user sessions / actions.
View number of connected OneAgents to the Dynatrace cluster over time.
