What is the frequency at which infrastructure metrics are captured in Dynatrace?

In Dynatrace, infrastructure metrics are captured every 10 seconds. This frequent data collection allows Dynatrace to provide near real-time visibility into the performance and health of the infrastructure components. The 10-second interval ensures that the monitoring tool can detect changes in performance swiftly, leading to timely alerts and insights. This frequent gathering of metrics supports proactive monitoring and helps in quickly identifying issues before they escalate into larger problems.

The choice of a 10-second frequency strikes a balance between obtaining enough data granularity for accurate performance analysis and not overwhelming the system with excessive data collection. This level of detail is particularly important for dynamic environments where the performance can fluctuate rapidly.
