When utilizing the Automation engine in Dynatrace, which scenario can be effectively managed?

The Automation engine in Dynatrace is specifically designed to facilitate the management of events that significantly impact the performance and stability of applications. This includes issues such as problems and metric breaches that warrant immediate attention. By automating responses to these events, Dynatrace helps ensure that the right actions are taken at the right time, mitigating the impact on users and maintaining optimal system performance.

In this context, handling problems allows for quicker root cause analysis and remediation actions, making the system more resilient and responsive. The Automation engine can trigger predefined workflows or alerts, which can include scaling actions, sending notifications, or integrating with other systems to enhance incident management processes.

When considering the other scenarios, user account modifications typically involve manual administrative processes and do not directly leverage the Automation engine's strengths. Hardware maintenance schedules require planning and coordination that are outside the scope of automated event handling. Bargaining with third-party vendors is a business negotiation task that is not suited for automation within the Dynatrace ecosystem.
