Learn how to analyze monitoring data more efficiently by using Dynatrace segments in Dashboards.
This article is intended for all users aiming to efficiently analyze monitoring data in different apps on the Dynatrace platform.
In this article, you'll learn how to use segments to make analyzing monitoring data more efficient.
Dynatrace apps supporting segments:

permission. To learn how to set up the permissions, see Permissions in Grail.Segments provide quick access to predefined logical filters. Like Dashboards, many applications in Dynatrace feature a segment selector, giving access to the list of available segments. You can search by name the segments in the segment selector.
After segments are selected, apps will either automatically update data to match selected segments or require user interaction to update.
While one-off segments can be selected with a single click, more advanced segments will offer a secondary selection of a dimension value, like in this example, selecting from a dynamic list of individual deployments. This secondary selection of dynamic segment values also supports multi-select.
If the selected segments or a combination with other aspects (like timeframe, filters, or permissions) lead to empty query results, the app won’t show any data for that selected context.
You've managed to filter data on a dashboard using Dynatrace segments. Try to do the same in other apps to learn how apps choose to utilize segments for their specific use cases.
