The Data centers view in Infrastructure & Operations Infrastructure & Operations monitors the health and performance of your data centers and availability zones.

Select a data center to view all monitored hosts within it.

Overview

Here's what each column in the Data centers view stands for.

  • Data center: The name or identifier of the data center or availability zone.
  • Type: The type of data center, such as:
    • AWS Availability Zone
    • GCP zone
    • Azure Region
    • Geo Location Site
  • Hosts:
    • Total: The total number of hosts in the data center.
    • Unhealthy: The number of hosts experiencing issues. Critical hosts are marked with red emphasis.
    • Monitored: The percentage of hosts actively monitored within the data center. Lower than 100% means Dynatrace identified unmonitored instances based on host connections.
  • Location: The geographic name of the data center location.

Use cases
