How are problems that are less severe than previous alerts treated in Dynatrace?

In Dynatrace, problems that are less severe than previous alerts are typically suppressed as frequent issues. This approach helps reduce alert fatigue and allows teams to focus on more critical incidents that might require immediate attention. By suppressing these less severe problems, Dynatrace ensures that only significant issues are prominently displayed, allowing for a more efficient monitoring process.

The system automatically determines the severity of an alert based on its historical context and current impact on the system, ensuring that only alerts that deviate significantly from the norm are raised. This mechanism enables teams to prioritize their response efforts and maintain operational efficiency without being overwhelmed by frequent, minor alerts that may not pose a critical threat to the application or system health.
