Installation

Make sure the app is installed in your environment.

Starting with Dynatrace 1.333+, authorization settings for Anomaly Detection are no longer required. Analyzers are now part of the standard configuration and no longer need additional authorization in the app.

When you open the app, you can see the information about your existing anomaly detection configurations, such as:

  • Status—If there's an error, the status is displayed as Error, select it to open the detailed report in a notebook.
  • Source
  • Type of anomaly prediction model

To show or hide columns, select Column settings and then select the columns you want to display. You can also filter the table by any of these parameters.

Custom alert actors

Every execution of custom alert is performed in the context of a user. If you're an administrator or have permission to use a predefined service user, you'll see two types of users you can choose when creating or editing a custom alert: actor and service user. Otherwise, you'll be the only visible actor.

Actor

An actor is the user used to execute the custom alert. Unless you have administrator rights or permission to use a predefined service user, you'll only have the option to set yourself as an actor for either a new or updated custom alert configuration.

If you edit an existing custom alert created by a different actor, Dynatrace will treat the modified configuration as a new custom alert with permission profiles of a new actor.

Service user

We recommend using service users as actors for custom alerts created for a department or organization use case. This makes the custom alert independent of the status of the user who maintains it.

There are no specific authorization settings for a service user. The permissions granted to a service user should follow the least privilege principle. To learn more about managing service users, see Service users.
