Is there anything available from Dynatrace that can show CPU data at a low level such as Frequency, core temperature etc Something similar to this product:

HWiNFO Sofware

Hi @D_Miller,

Short answer: no, not out of the box.

Dynatrace does not provide low-level hardware metrics like:

CPU frequency
Core / package temperature
Fan speed, voltage, power sensors

Tools like HWiNFO read directly from hardware / BIOS sensors, which is outside the scope of Dynatrace OneAgent.

What Dynatrace does provide natively:

CPU usage (host, process, container)
Load, CPU states (user/system/iowait, etc.)
CPU throttling for containers

These are OS-level metrics, not hardware sensor data.

If you really need hardware telemetry in Dynatrace, the only options are:

Use vendor hardware extensions (e.g. Dell iDRAC / Redfish from Dynatrace Hub)
Ingest custom metrics from external tools (Telegraf, Prometheus, scripts) into Dynatrace
