What does a yellow status indicator for Private Synthetic locations indicate?

The yellow status indicator for Private Synthetic locations specifically indicates that capacity usage for at least one type has reached more than 80%. This critical status serves as a warning to users that they should monitor resource usage closely, as high capacity levels can impact performance and the ability to conduct synthetic monitoring effectively.

In the context of Dynatrace, maintaining an appropriate level of capacity is essential for ensuring that synthetic tests can run smoothly and deliver accurate results. If any component's capacity exceeds the thresholds, it may lead to service degradation or even failure in executing synthetic tests.

Monitoring tools helps identify these thresholds, allowing the users to take proactive measures in managing their resources. This is especially relevant in dynamic environments where workloads can fluctuate significantly, necessitating quick adjustments to ensure continuous performance monitoring.
