Hi,
Can you please help me to prepare for practical questions in DynaTrace. I have studied all the available theory materials, how should I gain confidence for practical?

Thank You.

Hi,

Several years without trying Associate certification, but I was thinking Associate only has theory.

And Processional have theory + practical.

Best regards

Hi,
Thank you for your reply, it has hands-on tasks. I need to know what type of hands-on questions can be asked.

Correct, it has pracical part of approximately 15 tasks. Many of them are straightforward, and you are instructed directly on what to do. Typically, "Create a dashboard named XYZ, add a tile displaying this metric". Opening Dynatrace docs is allowed during the practical part. Be careful not to make typos. Also, be prepared to take screenshots (you should attach them to the questions). The exam is automatically graded, so be careful and try not to make any typos.
Some tasks required you retype all the text ( a DQL query was included in the question ), copy is not allowed.
Focus only on the new Gen3 screens and ignore the Classic screens when preparing for the exam. The exam could be difficult for those who have only experience with Dynatrace Managed and have limited or zero experience with the Dynatrace Platform on SaaS.

Two options - if you don't have any SaaS environment in your company, practice in https://playground.apps.dynatrace.com (limited permissions) or sign up for a trial https://www.dynatrace.com/try-free/ .
