Set up a compare of 2 time periods

[ben_pepper]

In our Production system we have seen the CPU usage more than double overnight with no deployment or changes we are aware of happening.

I want to set up a time comparison in Dynatrace for 2 different 1 hour periods 1 day apart so i can easily review what the servers are doing differently to see where the problem may be.

Even better if Dynatrace can report on the biggest changes in what is using the CPU.

Thanks in Advance.

You can use the Compare button which is available as a drill down in most of the Dashboards.

Here is an example from the service overview:

If you drill down via the Compare repsonse time hotspots you get the difference in CPU consumption you want, if that is a major factor of the response time.
