What data is masked at capture when using Dynatrace?

When using Dynatrace, data masking occurs before it is sent to the Dynatrace Cluster. This means that any sensitive information is altered or removed during the data transmission process to ensure privacy and security. By masking data prior to sending it, Dynatrace helps to comply with data protection regulations and standards, effectively reducing the risk associated with transmitting potentially sensitive information over the network.

This approach protects user data while still allowing for effective monitoring and performance analysis. It ensures that only sanitized or non-sensitive data reaches the Dynatrace Cluster, which helps maintain compliance with regulations such as GDPR or HIPAA. Consequently, while various actions take place regarding the handling and storage of data at other stages (such as storage on disk or display to users), the specific focus of data masking pertaining to Dynatrace is centered around the shipping of data to the cluster, making it a crucial part of the data security practices in place.
