What is the learning period required for alerting on traffic spikes and drops?

The learning period required for alerting on traffic spikes and drops is one week. This timeframe is essential because it allows the monitoring system to establish a baseline for normal traffic patterns. By observing traffic over this period, Dynatrace can effectively differentiate between typical variations and significant anomalies, such as sudden spikes or drops in traffic. This ensures that alerts are relevant and based on historical data, minimizing false positives and allowing for more accurate detection of potential issues within the monitored environment. Understanding this period is crucial for effective monitoring and alerting, as it directly impacts the system's ability to respond to real incidents.
