What distinguishes between types of maintenance windows in Dynatrace?

The distinction between types of maintenance windows in Dynatrace is primarily categorized into planned and unplanned maintenance. Planned maintenance windows are scheduled periods during which maintenance activities are conducted on the monitored environment, allowing users to prepare for it and minimizing unexpected interruptions or system impact. This type of maintenance is typically communicated in advance, ensuring that stakeholders are aware of potential downtimes and can manage their operations accordingly.

On the other hand, unplanned maintenance occurs unexpectedly, often in response to issues that require immediate attention, such as system failures or critical bugs. This type of maintenance can disrupt regular operations without prior warning, making it essential to have a clear understanding of how Dynatrace handles and reports on these windows in order to maintain system reliability and performance.

Understanding this distinction helps users effectively manage their monitoring setup, allowing for better planning and response strategies based on the predefined categories of maintenance windows.
