What does outlier analysis in Dynatrace focus on?

Outlier analysis in Dynatrace is primarily concerned with identifying unusually high or low resource usage. This analysis helps to detect anomalies in application or service performance that deviate significantly from the established norms or averages. By focusing on these outliers, Dynatrace can alert teams to potential performance bottlenecks or resource inefficiencies that could impact the user experience or overall system reliability.

Detecting unusual patterns is critical because it allows for proactive optimization and troubleshooting of applications. In contrast, options that refer to average response times, requests with no failures, or requests with consistent latency do not necessarily highlight these significant performance anomalies, which are the key focus of outlier analysis. Identifying and addressing outliers is essential for maintaining optimal performance and ensuring that resources are being utilized effectively.
