What does changing monitoring settings require?

Changing monitoring settings in Dynatrace necessitates monitoring admin permissions because these settings typically affect how data is collected, how applications and services are monitored, and how alerts are configured. Only users with elevated privileges have the authority to make such critical changes, ensuring that monitoring configurations are managed with the proper oversight and authority. This level of access is essential to prevent unauthorized modifications that could disrupt monitoring integrity or lead to data inaccuracies.

Users with read-only access or general user permissions do not have the capability to alter monitoring settings as this could expose the system to risks or inconsistencies. The requirement for dedicated monitoring admin permissions provides a safeguard against these potential issues, ensuring that only qualified individuals can make such significant changes in the monitoring environment.
