Davis CoPilot Chat context-aware conversations

Dynatrace applications like Problems, Kubernetes, and Databases allow you to trigger a predefined, contextual Davis CoPilot prompt to increase your productivity and conversation efficiency.

Prerequisites

To access the application integrations, ensure the following:

Davis CoPilot in Kubernetes

You can quickly get an explanation of any warning signals with Davis CoPilot in Kubernetes, powered by Davis CoPilot Chat . This allows you to get insights into the event details, typical root causes, and common remediation steps without accessing the documentation or other Dynatrace-related sources directly.

To access this functionality:

  1. Navigate to any list page in the Kubernetes app (such as Clusters, Nodes, Namespaces, or Workloads).
  2. Select any warning signal, and then select Explain warning signal.
  3. Davis CoPilot Chat will open and auto-execute the predefined prompt.
  4. Davis CoPilot will generate a response that details:
    • A general explanation about the event.
    • Typical root causes for the event, starting with the most common ones.
    • Common remediation steps for each of the root causes.

Davis CoPilot in Databases

In Databases Databases, Davis CoPilot can provide natural language explanations of execution plans, breakdowns of relevant details, and recommendations on how to improve statement performance.

Query execution plans provide detailed information on how a database will execute an SQL query. While these provide the raw data on how to improve query performance and reduce resource consumption, they require expert knowledge to read and interpret. With the Davis CoPilot integration, non-expert database users, such as developers, gain the knowledge they need to optimize their application performance and database utilization.

To summarize an execution plan with Davis CoPilot:

  1. In Databases Databases, go to Explorer.
  2. In the rightmost column, select the statement performance icon.
  3. Expand the statement you would like to improve. If an execution plan is not already available, you can request one.
  4. Select the Execution plan tab, and select Summarize with Davis CoPilot.
  5. Davis CoPilot Chat will open and auto-execute the predefined prompt.
  6. Davis CoPilot will generate a response with insight on the selected database execution plan.

Davis CoPilot in Problems

In Problems Problems app - new, Davis CoPilot can provide clear summaries of problems, their root causes, and the suggested remediation steps. Davis CoPilot explains individual issues in clear language from the problem details page and can perform a comparative analysis when multiple problems are selected from the list view. This helps you identify common root causes and propose corrective steps without relying on a team of experts or waiting for critical insights.
