As always - it depends. Based on the upgrade plan and target architecture in Dynatrace, execution of the upgrade moves all Dynatrace monitoring of workloads from the on-premises Dynatrace Managed environment to the Dynatrace platform:

The Dynatrace environments are created in one of the available regions.
All configuration is applied to the Dynatrace environment (either through automation or manually applying the necessary configuration to the SaaS environment).
Dynatrace components are moved (OneAgent) or replicated (ActiveGate) to the new Dynatrace environment.
Monitored applications are restarted to ensure that all monitoring is moved to the new Dynatrace environment.

To reduce the migration time to the minimum, leverage automation tools - such as Configuration-as-code and OneAgent automation capabilities - such as orchestration packages or oneagentctl.

The most common parts that are migrated:

Network Zones	User Groups	SSO Setup
Management Zones	Tagging Rules	Naming Rules
Custom Services	Services Configuration	Extensions
Synthetics	Cloud Automation	Process Group Detection
Application Definitions	Deep Monitoring Settings A	Log Monitoring
Anomaly Detection	Alerting Profiles	Dashboards
Notifications & Integrations	Maintenance Windows	SLI/SLOs
API Tokens	Credentials Vault	Mainframe Volumes
OpenTelemetry	Cloud Platform Integrations	Custom Metrics
