Disk Space - exponential use of memory

[geet28]

I have a xx application which is hosted on windows server and it is being monitored by Dynatrace. The windows server has total of 100GB. When xx is running on windows in day1 it is consuming 10GB and avail memory is 90GB, day2 - used 10GB, day3 used 10GB and available memory is 70 GB and so on.. It is exponentially growing the memory usage. 

Ques:

1. i am in day7 , How to predict in day10 memory will be full and create alert in Dynatrace and send email notification to the user says everyday memory consumption is xxGB and so and so date the memory will be full . please make sure to clean the unwanted log files.

2. How to alert the team xx application is going to down on so and so date. How to predicate early and send notifications?

What are the different options available in Dynatrace?

3. After detecting how to send the alert details to BMC remedy and create incident?

4. What kind of access needed to do this predictive analysis or is there any  other API option do it ?

Hi @geet28 ,

Related to the application's memory usage monitored by Dynatrace, the following solutions are proposed:

1. Predicting Memory used alert

• Dynatrace Configuration:
  • Use Davis to detect and predict memory consumption.
  • Create alerts to notify when the memory will be full soon.
  • Use Dynatrace features:
    • Workflows
    • Davis IA prediction for workflow
    • ownership for workflow
    • ownership https://docs.dynatrace.com/docs/shortlink/ownership
    • integration with mail o message system like slack

2. Integration with BMC Remedy for Incident Creation

• Integration with BMC Remedy:
  • Use BMC Remedy APIs or webhooks to integrate with Dynatrace.
  • Configure automatic incident creation in BMC Remedy when an alert is triggered

•  

Additional Recommendations:

• Identify the Root Cause: Find and mitigate the root cause of the increasing memory usage.
• Automate Procedures: Automate memory cleaning using workflows in Dynatrace as a workaround only if not possible correct thee root cause.
