Up for another (live) DQL deep dive?
Have you gotten all the way through the Learning Dynatrace Query Language playlist on YouTube yet? If so, we have new video content available for you. First, Sinisa Zubic walks you through two use-case examples: Summarizing trading activity by weekday and comparing metrics week-over-week. Then, Indermohan Singh shows you how to use the timeseries command to query metrics, explores how to use the append command to append data from one query to another, and teaches you how to expand a field into multiple fields with the expand command.
Furthermore, with a new name and the same great content, why not join our Office hours for DQL analytics? The next opportunity is on December 6, and your hosts will be Product Manager Peter Zahrer and Developer Advocate Sinisa Zubic. You can contribute by asking questions or listening in on expert advice. We won’t hold it against you if you fill your pockets with as much input as possible.

A word on app functions
Maybe we can save you some time by helping you decide when to use app functions. Since they do require some setup, we recommend using them only when necessary. We suggest going through the use case examples in the documentation if you’re using app functions or want to do so in the future.
