Dears,

I hope this message finds you well.

I would like to inquire about the recommended best practices for initiating the use of Dynatrace within our technical environment. What are the key steps we should follow to ensure a smooth and effective setup? Additionally, are there any official resources, training materials, or documentation you would suggest to help our team become familiar with the platform and begin performing core observability tasks efficiently?

Thank you for your guidance and support.

Best regards,
ibrahim Alshayeb

Hi Ibrahim, I'm happy to help you. The first task is to get your data into your Dynatrace environment (if you just want to experience the UI with dummy data check out the Dynatrace playground). Do you have a preference / existing setup on how you ship data to Dynatrace? Opentelemetry, Prometheus or are you happy to install the Dynatrace OneAgent?
