"event.category": "RESOURCE_CONTENTION"

Hello,

Looking at the documentation:

Resource events — Dynatrace Docs

"event.category": "RESOURCE_CONTENTION" is not found, this event is in the doc: RESOURCE_EVENT.

What am I missing? (or what is Dynatrace missing (-;)

Hi Henk.

After trying a couple DQL queries I was able to get the "RESOURCE_CONTENTION" event category to come up. May I ask how you are trying to access the resource event? Below is the screenshot of the query.

Hi Keegan,

I found it in the problem event (workflow trigger)

"event.status": "ACTIVE",
"cloud.provider": [
"azure"
],
"event.category": "RESOURCE_CONTENTION"

So maybe this is received from Azure, and this means that are "extra categories" not found in Dynatrace documentation?

I did a simple dql query:
fetch dt.davis.events
| fields event.category

| summarize count = count(), by:{event.category}

From the screenshot below these are the event categories that are created within Dynatrace.

Now each category may have specific events. On the documentation, those are some examples you will see as you scroll down the page in each section.

Hope this helps!

Hi Keegan,

Thanks for your reply,

KR Henk

As an addon I found this in the docs:

From Azure you can get a metric event like below,

Sev-2 (Warning): RESOURCE_CONTENTION_EVENT
