What triggers Dynatrace to throttle user sessions?

Dynatrace triggers throttling of user sessions primarily when the maximum user action count per minute is exceeded. This mechanism is in place to prevent overwhelming the monitoring system with excessive data. Each user action, such as clicks or page views, generates data that needs to be processed and analyzed. By throttling sessions when the action count surpasses a designated threshold, Dynatrace ensures that the performance and accuracy of monitoring are maintained, as this prevents potential overload that could distort application performance metrics.

This control is crucial in environments with high traffic, enabling Dynatrace to focus on quality data rather than quantity, ensuring that the metrics collected for analysis are reliable and actionable.
