DQL for k8s apps

ted-wise-onbe — Fri, 26 Jun 2026 13:15:14 GMT

I'm trying to create a dashboard for monitoring a single k8s app. Can anyone point me toward modern queries that will let me see things like:
1) Running pods over time
2) Current running pods
3) Current log output for the pods
4) Network requests in/out, 4xx, 5xx
5) Traces
etc.
Thanks in advance

Hi, @ted-wise-onbe . I recommend you to use the Dynatrace Assist to try to solve these questions:

There are several out of the box Kubernetes dashboards in Dynatrace. They are a great start to make a copy and tweak to match your needs for your monitored K8s.
