Dynatrace Dashboard Integrations

Features

  • You can configure Zebrium to automatically add Root Cause (RCA) reports as Events in Dynatrace. This allows you to see details of root cause on any Dynatrace dashboard.
  • This integration automatically adds Log Count metrics in Dynatrace.
  • Each Zebrium RCA report includes a summary, a word cloud, and a set of log events showing symptoms and root cause, plus a link to the full report in the Zebrium user interface.
  • This means faster Mean Time to Resolution (MTTR) and less time manually hunting for root cause.

How It Works

The recommended mode of operation for observability dashboard integrations is to use the Zebrium Auto-Detect mode as an accurate mechanism for explaining the reason something went wrong. In this mode, you continue to use your existing rules, alerts and metrics as the primary source of problem detection. You can then review Zebrium RCA report findings directly in your Dynatrace Dashboards alongside other metrics to explain the reason behind problems you were alerted on.

The Zebrium Augment mode is useful when you have monitors defined in Dynatrace and you want a Root Cause Report automatically generated at the time of the alert. In this mode, Zebrium uses a Dynatrace webhook as a notification channel and will update your Dashboard with Root Cause Reports that coincide with the triggering monitor so they’re immediately visible to you as you work the issue.

The two modes of operation are independent. You can configure Auto-Detect and/or Augment modes depending on your operational use-case.

Auto-Detect (recommended): Send Root Cause Detections to Dynatrace Dashboards

  1. Zebrium continuously monitors all application logs and uses unsupervised machine learning to find anomalous log patterns that indicate a problem. These are automatically turned into Root Cause reports highlighting details of any problems with over 95% accuracy.
  2. Root Cause report summaries are sent to Dynatrace using the events API, and Root Cause details are visible on your Dynatrace Dashboards.
  3. With a single click from your Dashboard, you can drill down further to look at correlated logs across your entire application.
  4. Log metrics are also sent to Dynatrace using the metrics API for visualization on your Dynatrace Dashboards.

Augment (advanced users): Receive Signals from Dynatrace Triggered Monitors

  1. Any Dynatrace Monitor can trigger a webhook request for Root Cause Analysis from Zebrium.
  2. Zebrium finds anomalous log patterns from your application that coincide with the event and creates a Root Cause Report.
  3. Root Cause Report summaries are sent to Dynatrace using the events API and Root Cause details are visible on your Dynatrace Dashboards.
  4. If you need to drill down further to look at correlated logs across your entire app, it’s just one click from your Dashboard.
