Which event does Dynatrace raise for response time degradation?

Dynatrace raises an event for response time degradation when breakdown events exceed specified baselines. This approach allows Dynatrace to monitor application performance effectively by identifying when response times are not meeting established performance criteria. By comparing current response times against predefined baselines, Dynatrace can alert teams to potential issues as they occur, leading to quicker diagnosis and resolution of performance problems.

This method ensures that any significant deviation from normal performance levels is captured, allowing for a proactive approach to maintain application responsiveness. It leverages historical data to set thresholds for what constitutes acceptable performance, making it more reliable than setting fixed or arbitrary limits based solely on average response times or randomly chosen percentiles. Monitoring against these baselines helps to contextualize performance metrics in a way that aligns with the specific needs and performance expectations for each application.
