What does the "Network Status" tile specifically monitor?

The "Network Status" tile specifically monitors the volume of traffic and the number of nodes exchanging data across the network. This monitoring feature enables users to gain insights into network performance, identifying trends in data flow and potential bottlenecks caused by changes in traffic patterns. By observing these metrics, teams can proactively manage network resources, troubleshoot connectivity issues, and optimize the performance of applications reliant on network communications.

The focus on traffic volume and exchanging nodes is crucial for understanding network dynamics, which can impact not only application performance but also end-user experiences. In contrast, monitoring the performance of Docker containers, the health of servers, or the load details of web applications requires different specific metrics and analyses that the "Network Status" tile does not address. This differentiation highlights the unique role of the tile in the broader context of observability and performance monitoring within the Dynatrace platform.
