A Dynatrace Managed Cluster includes a dedicated local self-monitoring environment that collects internal deployment self-monitoring metrics. The local self-monitoring environment is a fully working Dynatrace environment. The self-monitoring environment includes all the self-monitoring metrics collected and aggregated from the other environments on your Dynatrace Managed Cluster. Dynatrace Managed stores all data exclusively on-premises.
The self-monitoring environment doesn't count toward license consumption. Certain functionality is unavailable in this environment. For example, you can't connect OneAgents to the self-monitoring environment.
The self-monitoring environment is available only for Dynatrace Managed customers using DDU licensing.
You can navigate to the self-monitoring environment from the user menu as you would to any other environment. The local self-monitoring environment has the name Local-Self-Monitoring. The self-monitoring environment also appears in the Cluster Management Console so you can assign user permissions to it.
For an overview of the currently implemented self-monitoring metrics, filter for metrics prefixed with dsfm: in the metric browser. The metric description provides details. You can use the self-monitoring environment to set up alerting or further dashboarding. Dynatrace protects this environment from deletion.
The dashboard Cluster health self-monitoring shows aggregated data for all environments in your Managed Cluster, including current utilization and an indicator of whether your Managed Cluster has sufficient capacity for the current load.
The Cluster deployment health and utilization dashboard provides:
The self-monitoring dashboard targets the self-monitoring environment of Dynatrace Managed Clusters.
