Hello community!

How to gain service visibility for process that marked with "Activation of deep monitoring was unsuccessful":

monitoring of statically linked programs is not supported

Maybe somebody have this problem? What the problem is caused by?

Thanks.

Regards,

Alexander

Hi @Babar_Qayyum

In Dynatrace, the statement "monitoring of statically linked programs is not supported" means that the Dynatrace monitoring system cannot track or analyze programs that have been compiled with statically linked libraries. In statically linked programs, all necessary libraries and dependencies are included directly in the executable file at the time of compilation. This means that the program does not need to rely on external libraries when it is running.

In contrast, dynamically linked programs use external libraries or dependencies that are loaded at runtime. Dynatrace typically supports the monitoring of dynamically linked programs because it can more effectively track and analyze interactions between different components and dependencies.

Unfortunately, for statically linked programs, the absence of external references to libraries limits the ability of Dynatrace to effectively track their performance and behavior. This limitation stems from the nature of statically linked applications and is common for most application performance monitoring tools.
