In Dynatrace, which components can alerting profiles utilize for configuring notifications?

Alerting profiles in Dynatrace are designed to leverage tags or severity levels for configuring notifications. This key function allows users to customize alerting thresholds based on specific criteria that matter to their environment. By utilizing tags, users can group similar entities, which enables targeted alerting. For instance, if an application component is tagged to indicate its importance, alerting profiles can be set to trigger notifications based on the severity level assigned to that tag.

This method is particularly effective as it allows for more granular control over alerting, ensuring that alerts are relevant to the context and reducing noise from notifications that may not require immediate attention. Using tags or severity levels enhances the overall alerting strategy, enabling teams to respond quickly to issues that could impact performance or user experience while minimizing distractions from less critical alerts.

The alternative options do not offer the same level of specificity or utility. For example, relying solely on user preferences would not provide the dynamic capability of tagging and severity, while exact data points and historical performance metrics do not actively drive the configuration of alert notifications in the same adaptable manner as tags and severity levels do. This makes tags and severity levels the most effective components for configuring notifications in Dynatrace alerting profiles.
