How is the basic health of the system monitored in Dynatrace Managed?

The basic health of the system in Dynatrace Managed is monitored through nodes communicating with Mission Control. This enables real-time assessment and management of the Dynatrace environment. Mission Control plays a central role in overseeing the health and performance of the managed clusters by aggregating data from various nodes.

Each node sends health status information and performance metrics to Mission Control, allowing it to detect issues promptly and provide alerts or recommendations for remediation. This proactive monitoring approach helps ensure system reliability and optimal performance without the need for manual checks or reliance on third-party tools. It capitalizes on the inherent capabilities of Dynatrace, making the monitoring process more efficient and integrated.

In contrast, while manual checks and third-party tools may offer monitoring capabilities, they lack the seamless integration and real-time responsiveness provided by the node-to-Mission Control communication. Statistical analysis of traffic could provide insights, but it doesn't encompass the holistic health monitoring enabled by Dynatrace's architecture.
