Which Kubernetes monitoring mode does Dynatrace NOT support?

Dynatrace does not support the Network-only monitoring mode for Kubernetes environments. The reason behind this is that Dynatrace is built to provide comprehensive observability across various layers within a Kubernetes cluster.

In the full-stack mode, Dynatrace captures and analyzes metrics, logs, user behavior, application performance, and infrastructure health, delivering insights into the entire stack. Similarly, the application-only mode focuses on the performance of applications running within the Kubernetes environment, enabling developers and operators to monitor performance specifically at the application layer. The infrastructure-only mode allows for monitoring the underlying infrastructure, ensuring that the health and performance of the Kubernetes nodes, pods, and containers are well understood.

By not offering a Network-only mode, Dynatrace emphasizes its capability of providing combined insights that encompass application, infrastructure, and user experience, rather than isolating network metrics. This integration is essential for troubleshooting and diagnosing complex issues that require a comprehensive view across different levels, such as interactions between applications and the underlying network.
