Application Security metrics
Available metrics
The following metrics are available for Application Security.
Vulnerabilities
| Metric name | Dynatrace version | Description | Dimensions (values) |
|---|---|---|---|
Open security problems (global) | 1.225+ | Number of currently open vulnerabilities seen within the last minute. The metric value is independent of any configured management zone (and thus global). |
|
New open security problems (global) | 1.222+ | Number of vulnerabilities that were recently created. The metric value is independent of any configured management zone (and thus global). | |
New muted security problems (global) | 1.222+ | Number of vulnerabilities that were recently muted. The metric value is independent of any configured management zone (and thus global). | |
Open security problems (split by management zone) | 1.231+ | Number of currently open vulnerabilities seen within the last minute. The metric value is split by management zone. |
|
New open security problems (split by management zone) | 1.231+ | Number of vulnerabilities that were recently created. The metric value is split by management zone. | |
New resolved security problems (global) | 1.222+ | Number of vulnerabilities that were recently resolved. The metric value is independent of any configured management zone (and thus global). |
|
Only available for third-party vulnerabilities.
Affected entities
| Metric name | Dynatrace version | Description | Dimensions (values) |
|---|---|---|---|
Vulnerabilities - affected entities count | 1.251+ | Total number of unique affected entities across all open vulnerabilities. The metric supports the management zone selector. |
|
Affected process groups
| Metric name | Dynatrace version | Description | Dimensions (values) |
|---|---|---|---|
Vulnerabilities - affected entities count | 1.251+ | Total number of unique affected entities across all open vulnerabilities. The metric supports the management zone selector. |
|
Attacks
| Metric name | Dynatrace version | Description | Dimensions (values) |
|---|---|---|---|
New attacks | 1.271+ | Number of attacks that were recently created1. The metric is management zone aware based on the process group dimension. |
|
This metric uses the timestamp when Dynatrace Cluster stores the attacks. As a result, there might be slight differences between the timestamp of the reported attacks metric and the timestamp of the attacks detected by OneAgent.

Usage
You can use Application Security metrics to
Use case examples
- To keep an eye on the number of attacks over time, create a chart for the
New attacksmetric and pin it to your dashboard. - To view the current status of affected entities in your environment and see how the process of remediating vulnerabilities is developing, create a chart for the
Vulnerabilities - affected entities countmetric and pin it to your dashboard.
