What function does Mission Control serve in Dynatrace Managed?

Mission Control in Dynatrace Managed plays a critical role in connecting with Managed clusters to provide health monitoring and support. This function is essential because it ensures that the clusters are running optimally and can automatically identify any issues that may arise within the environment. By maintaining a connection with the Managed clusters, Mission Control facilitates timely updates, security patches, and proactive support, ultimately helping maintain the overall reliability and performance of the Dynatrace deployment.

While managing hardware resources and data storage are important aspects of any managed service, these functionalities fall outside the scope of Mission Control's primary responsibilities. It does not directly manage hardware or backup data, nor does it focus exclusively on monitoring user traffic. Instead, its key function is to support and monitor the health of clusters, which is vital for maintaining the system's efficiency and effectiveness in application performance monitoring.
