How does automated baseline calculation function in Dynatrace?

Automated baseline calculation in Dynatrace functions by analyzing historical performance data to establish a baseline that reflects typical application behavior over time. This process enables Dynatrace to calculate averages of various performance metrics, helping to define what constitutes expected performance levels.

Once the baseline is established, Dynatrace can trigger alerts whenever it detects deviations from this expected performance. This proactive approach allows for the identification of potential issues before they significantly impact users, ensuring that teams can maintain optimal application performance. The focus on expected performance also aids in distinguishing between normal fluctuations and genuine performance problems.

While the other choices touch on aspects of performance monitoring, they do not encapsulate the comprehensive nature of automated baseline calculation, which includes both the establishment of averages based on historical data and the ability to generate alerts when deviations from these benchmarks occur.
