Monitoring the availability Dynatrace platform from other monitoring sources.

[ecataldo]

Hello everyone,

We would like to appeal to your experience and find out if it is possible to perform external monitoring to indicate the availability of our Dynatrace platform (SaaS). I understand that we could do this by consuming Dyntrace APIs from other tools and sending the corresponding alerts or by pinging the Dynatrace URL itself, however we would like to evaluate other options. Thank you very much.

Hi there,

There can be multiple ways to monitor Dynatrace SAAS. Some of these I have mentioned below.
1. URL availability and response time check - curl via a script or ping the URL using bash script, etc.
2. Monitor using synthetics from other tools.
3. Monitor issues in Dynatrace Health Status
