When does a problem get raised in relation to the violating threshold?

The correct answer indicates that a problem gets raised at the end of the 5-minute window. This timeframe allows for a more accurate assessment of the situation because it requires a certain level of sustained threshold violation before a problem is officially documented. When a threshold is violated, it is essential to monitor the ongoing state to determine whether it represents a consistent issue or was merely a temporary spike.

Utilizing a specific window of time, such as 5 minutes, helps to filter out noise from transient anomalies or brief performance dips that may resolve on their own. This approach ensures that only substantial and sustained violations trigger a formal problem report, enhancing the reliability of the alerting system in Dynatrace and enabling teams to focus on genuine issues rather than reacting to fleeting events.
