The Infrastructure Optimization Agent provides recommendations to reduce costs and minimize risks by optimizing your infrastructure. The agent queries Grail and provides data to Dynatrace Assist, which generates recommendations that are sent to email addresses of your choice.

Prerequisites

To use the Infrastructure Optimization Agent, you must deploy a workflow that is included in the product as a preconfigured workflow template. For more details, see Agentic workflows.

Get started

To set up the agent

  1. Go to Workflows Workflows and select Add Workflow.

  2. From the Create workflow from template list that opens, select Infrastructure Optimization Agent.

  3. Install all the required apps (as needed), define the connections, and select Create workflow.

  4. To configure the JSON workflow input, select and scroll down to the Workflow input and result and Default input sections.

    • Update the scope parameter values to include or exclude the desired scope. If you are not monitoring some domains (for example, network), set the scope for them to false.

    • Update the emails parameter values (to, cc, bcc) to be an array of strings. For example, "to": [ "me@example.com", "you@example.com"].

  5. Test the workflow with a manual run by selecting Run.

  6. If the workflow works as expected, you can continue triggering it manually, or select Change trigger to change it to a scheduled one, for example, weekly, daily, or according to your preference.

When the workflow is triggered, the recipients receive an email with an AI-generated report containing analyses, insights, and recommendations.
