We recently started seeing Problem Alerts in our Problems app titled "My Event".
I'm having trouble determining where they are coming from, as they do not provide much information.
Any ideas on what could be generating these alerts?
Thank you.

Hi @ASE , did you try to check if you have anything configured under Anomaly detection-->Metric events that's triggering this alert ?

Yes, @p_devulapalli.
We have 250+ Metric Events configured.
I don't see any custom Metric Event that I'm not expecting to see.
Don't you need an actual metric in order to create a Metric Event?
When you look at the Problem Alert I shared, there is no sign of a metric.
This comes across as something built-in (out of the box), but I can't seem to find what that could be.
I know we can create custom Log Events and custom Metric Events. Other than these 2 places, I don't know where else it could be coming from.

Thank you for the reply, @Peter_Youssef.
It was #1. There was some unexpected custom work being done outside of OneAgent and via the API.
Mystery solved. 😆

Good to know.
all the best @ASE .

I'd start by querying events in DQL.
fetch events
| filter event.name == "My Event"
Then you'll get some more context around the event and problem that might help you determine where it came from.

Thank you for the suggestion, @StrangerThing.
All the Problem Alerts were event.provider = EVENTS_REST_API_INGEST, which does help our internal support team identify where they are coming from.

Happy to help! I've had my fair share of "where the hell did this come from" in my Dynatrace adventure 🙂
