What type of monitoring does Dynatrace provide for containerized workloads without host-level metrics?

Dynatrace offers application-only monitoring specifically designed for containerized workloads where host-level metrics are not available. This approach is focused on gaining insight into the performance and health of the applications running within containers, regardless of the underlying host infrastructure. By utilizing Dynatrace’s capabilities, teams can monitor the application code, transaction flow, user experiences, and service dependencies, all within the containerized environment. This allows for a comprehensive understanding of application performance without relying on host-level data, which may not always be accessible in containerized setups.

Other types of monitoring, such as infrastructure-only or database performance monitoring, focus on different aspects of technology stacks or use cases that are not limited to application-level analysis. Network monitoring is focused on the traffic and data exchange between systems, which is distinct from application-centric metrics that Dynatrace specializes in for containerized workloads.
