Team,
I've successfully configured an application to use Micrometer to send metrics to the Dynatrace tenant. These metrics are received by Dynatrace and fall under the classification of "generic types". This means that in the data explorer these metrics display a description rather than the metric-prefix itself.
I am wondering what the best tile types are for each of the following metrics. At the moment I am currently just creating single values and line charts. Any advice is appreciated!

It really depends on your organizations needs for monitoring of those metrics. You can further enhance your dashboard with threshold colors and backgrounds. a sample of what you can do is documented here: https://community.dynatrace.com/t5/Dynatrace-tips/PRO-TIP-New-Hex-Code-Color-Picker/m-p/201388#M639
