Which issue could arise if there is a problem with the server certificate check during connection?

When there is a problem with the server certificate check during a connection, it primarily impacts the ability of Dynatrace OneAgent to establish a secure SSL connection. The server certificate is a critical part of the SSL/TLS protocol, which ensures that the connection between the client (in this case, the OneAgent) and the server is secure and that the server is indeed who it claims to be.

If the server certificate cannot be verified, either due to it being expired, not trusted, or otherwise invalid, the OneAgent will be unable to complete the SSL handshake. As a result, it cannot send or receive data over a secure connection, which could lead to a breakdown in communication between the agent and Dynatrace for monitoring and data reporting purposes. This situation directly affects the Agent's effectiveness in monitoring performance and health metrics, which is why the verification failure of an SSL connection is the most relevant issue in this context.

In contrast, other options like unsuccessful uploads of dump files or incorrect monitoring data may be secondary effects stemming from an inability to connect, but they do not directly address the core issue of the server certificate check failure. Operational delays in the application also do not directly relate to the server certificate verification issue, as they pertain
