Accessibility (WCAG) monitoring via Dynatrace?

[Daniël]

Hi all,

Is there a way to monitor with Dynatrace  the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) with RUM getting dashboards on the current state and accessebility issues like we do get for security related stuff like CSP violations etc.? Or did some people know/using a workarround to get it in Dynatrace? 

We need to get more insights on this due to the European Accessibility Act. which requires companies to improve the websites and make it more accessible for people with eg vision problems.

It would be nice if we can monitor this standard as well via Dynatrace but I can't find any examples nor documentation if this is possible.

WCAG is the standard from the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C): Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2

Hi Daniël,
Thank you for bringing this up! Monitoring WCAG compliance is indeed an important topic, especially with the European Accessibility Act coming into effect.

Currently, Dynatrace does not provide built-in functionality to monitor WCAG standards. However, we’ve seen interest from other customers in having this capability, and your feedback is valuable. If you’d like to help promote this feature, we recommend creating a Request for Enhancement by posting in the Product Ideas section of the Dynatrace Community.

RFEs submitted by customers are reviewed by our product team and can influence future releases.
