What color indicates the number of active problems in the problems tile?

The color red in the problems tile is specifically designated to indicate the number of active problems. In the context of monitoring and observability tools like Dynatrace, red signifies urgency and criticality, helping users quickly identify issues that may need immediate attention. Active problems can impact system performance or user experience, and the red color serves as an alert to draw focus to potential critical failures or significant disruptions.

Colors in monitoring dashboards often have standardized meanings—red typically denotes errors or severe issues, while other colors might represent different states such as normal operation (green), informational messages (blue), or warnings (yellow). This color coding facilitates a straightforward visual representation, enabling users to assess the health of the system rapidly. Thus, red is effective in conveying important information about the status of active problems, prompting timely responses from IT professionals managing the environment.
