How does Dynatrace handle response time anomalies during maintenance windows?

Dynatrace is designed to ensure that maintenance activities do not disrupt the accurate evaluation of service performance metrics. During maintenance windows, any response time anomalies that occur are not allowed to negatively impact the overall baselines of services and applications. This is crucial for maintaining the integrity of performance data, as it guarantees that temporary fluctuations caused by planned maintenance do not skew the overall analysis.

By effectively segregating maintenance activities from the calculation of baselines, Dynatrace enables organizations to have a more reliable view of their service performance over time. This practice allows for more accurate detection of genuine performance issues and prevents misleading insights that could arise from considering anomalies created during maintenance periods. Therefore, maintaining these baselines ensures that the focus remains on understanding and improving ongoing application performance, free from the distortions of scheduled maintenance activities.
