How Dynatrace assists me during summer vacations? Does it count? ![Screen Shot 2022-08-17 at 13.39.04.png](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/dynatrace/original/3X/9/1/9106089fb8d8bd9f2a16d7b61d106af9f2a6e114.jpeg) It is not summer in Brazil, nor vacation time to me, but this is how looks like when is my turn. The idea, I have just created a new one, and would love to get a feedback update for it: [Custom Event for Alerting in Settings 2.0](https://community.dynatrace.com/post/192826) ---

Still didn’t go on vacations. I believe the Dynatrace mobile app is one my favorites in any occasion. I know Davis keeps working hard to keep alerts under control. And I know that if Davis interrupts me, it might be really important. There is one case though when this does not happen. If you read the Product Idea below, you will get the idea. And it happened to me last Monday once again, with a holiday here in Portugal: [https://community.dynatrace.com/t5/Dynatrace-product-ideas/RFE-AI-should-know-about-holidays/idi-p/151421](https://community.dynatrace.com/post/151421) ---

Thanks for this Michal. Thanks to Dynatrace I have won 1st prize in Value story event in a yearly APAC meetup. The money did help me to spent my vacation in Singapore and Malaysia:sweat\_smile:. I love to travel and visit attractions of different places. I even won a North face duffle bag which I had carried to my trip. ![Screenshot 2022-08-18 102629.jpg](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/dynatrace/original/3X/2/5/252f04a5e6bca675c2dba0aae12936c1402d3cd8.jpeg) ---

I think protection from the sun is definitely a very good help that Dynatrace offers 🤠😎😉 ---

Very nice :slightly\_smiling\_face:… Maybe I should also think about investing the price for Value Stories in a vacation 👍. ---

I would lie if I said I can rest peacefully with my kids :joy: But the truth is we always spend summer vacations in an active way and organize trips on our own :slightly\_smiling\_face: This year, we decided to explore the region of Lower Silesia, Poland :poland: It’s really beautiful, with numerous castles everywhere. We also did some mountain trips :mountain: ![Książ castle](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/dynatrace/original/3X/e/d/ed13dcdf86e19319ab55df3a9e44db0adc2c3602.jpeg)   ![Mountain shelter](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/dynatrace/original/2X/b/b93aeb73ebc291db636f09db4e38a7781a2df16a.jpeg)   ![:)](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/dynatrace/original/2X/3/33b7041fde317521e90c98fbf0261f4c9be6b9dc.jpeg) ---

This year I’ve spent my vacations in the [Masuria](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Masuria) region in North Eastern Poland - which is one of the [28 Wonders of Nature](https://nature.new7wonders.com/wonders/masurian-lake-district-poland) and the Land of a \*Thousand Lakes (\*actually there are 2600 of them). That was quite spontaneous this year and not obvious to my family as we usually spend vacations on the seacoast. And this year I’ve left Dynatrace totally alone, cut-off - so I can relax. Well.. almost… still had Dynatrace in my “back-end storage”: ![2A49101B-0968-4E0B-B1BB-CFCFE474ABE2_1_105_c.jpeg](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/dynatrace/original/2X/f/fa3593364be722f8e6d97a362f6477b72cb03468.jpeg) What I did do there? I fed tropical parrots :joy: No, they don’t live there in nature :smiley:. ![22D7727E-B82B-4BEB-AEC1-B88E4A91E811_1_105_c.jpeg](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/dynatrace/original/3X/0/9/096d2062e465d2f57f949733290475e0edcdf49a.jpeg) Hope you had great summertime as well!

I’m usually pretty good at cutting off the lines of communication to work during vacation, although I have to admit that there are some planned exceptions :wink: The most challenging part during vacation as a father of two kids is to find some private time… But this year I tried something new. It took me a while to find a method how to get my kids “grounded”, but actually it’s really simple: ![WhatsApp Image 2022-07-15 at 10.24.53.jpeg](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/dynatrace/original/3X/e/b/eb6942fd76411cf9bac17ba74a6c2d67797dfc1b.jpeg) 😎 ---

I had a chance for a two weeks break. 🙂 It was very active. Many things played a role in it: water, chocolate, nature, art, history, dynatrace. Water - On the first week we had a 3 days canoe trip on a special river section of Danube called Szigetköz. It was beautiful again.😎 Chocolate - On the next week we have visited my cousine in Austria (in Styria) and had a chocolote factory visit (Zotter). yum, yum…😁 Nature - On the way back to Vienna we had a short trip to the Grundlesee and Toplitzsee. The landscape was amazing.🏞 Art, history - In Vienna of course we spent as many time we could in museums and on exhibitions.🖼 Dynatrace - As a Dynatrace fan I planned to visit the DT offices in Austria. :wink: Unfortunately I did not have enough time to check all DT offices in Austira especially in Linz, Graz so finally I visited only the Vienna office.😍 ![Danube canoe trip](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/dynatrace/original/2X/f/fe7cf85276790845a9de976084640031839441f1.png) ![Zotter chocolate factory taste](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/dynatrace/original/3X/b/f/bf21ed5cd903917a43c0b2168c95d0967f46bf09.png) ![Toplitzsee lake](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/dynatrace/original/3X/b/c/bc8400d194296ce4cd20ad889af5f59f3972bfd8.png) ![Judith, my shadow and me](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/dynatrace/original/2X/1/1c222c04dc59228f46667267badd381f3f84a608.png) ![DT office building in Vienna](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/dynatrace/original/2X/1/10d9e1c5f97f90891f8857101c55494883780158.png) ---

Being a Swede but living half of my life in The Netherlands I still have a lot of my family in Sweden. due to COVID it’s been difficult to see them last couple of years, but this year I did a workation, 4 weeks of vacation and 2 weeks of remote work. We did a lot of dinners and such, but one interesting thing we did was to go to a museum in Stockholm called Paradox. It was a great place for pictures, here is a fun one with my son and nephew. ![mike_l.jpeg](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/dynatrace/original/3X/3/a/3a2329594b3de15d7806cd7ad784ebe7f9fe0742.jpeg) ---

I took a vacation last month and here is what I have been upto in my vacation.  This is one of beautiful places I have seen. It is a part of western ghats and the mountain is called Velliangiri.

Hi Community, My vacation was cut short in the middle due to a new Dynatrace project starting up (Here’s how Dynatrace helps me on vacation 🤣🤣🤣). but I would like to share with you my favorite beach (Tarfaya Beach in north of Africa) where I spend almost every morning in good company: Oussama Lours and Sofiane el machyane. ![1662012701726.jpg](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/dynatrace/original/2X/0/06b0be775f978b013a40171f6c08bd02e6f72996.jpeg) ---

I’ve been to Florida this year but I missed the opportunity to go scuba diving while there, I usually go to the Keys and log a few dives. Maybe Jan 2023 will work better.

We have just arrived from Paris, and, with kids, the stop in Disneyland was mandatory! Although we enjoyed Paris a lot, for our kids Disneyland was really magic!
