Best When
An agent needs to query or act on Dynatrace observability data — especially leveraging Davis AI for automated root cause analysis.
Avoid When
You're using Datadog, New Relic, or another APM platform.
Use Cases
- • Querying application performance metrics using DQL from SRE agents
- • Analyzing Dynatrace Davis AI problems and root cause analysis from incident agents
- • Monitoring service topology and dependencies from reliability agents
- • Managing alerting and notification policies from ops agents
- • Correlating distributed traces with infrastructure metrics from debugging agents
- • Generating SLO compliance reports from reporting agents
Not For
- • Teams using Datadog, New Relic, or AppDynamics as primary APM platform
- • Simple log-only use cases (Dynatrace is full-stack observability)
- • Teams without Dynatrace subscription
Interface
Authentication
Dynatrace API tokens with specific permission scopes. OAuth 2.0 with client credentials for automation. Tokens are environment-specific. Granular permission model with 50+ scope options.
Pricing
Dynatrace Platform Subscription (DPS) is the modern pricing model. Host-based pricing also available. Enterprise platform with significant per-host cost. MCP server is official open source.
Agent Metadata
Known Gotchas
- ⚠ DQL (Dynatrace Query Language) is proprietary — different from PromQL or SPL
- ⚠ Environment ID embedded in all API URLs — must use correct environment URL
- ⚠ API token must include specific scopes for each API type — minimal permission setup required
- ⚠ Managed Dynatrace vs Dynatrace SaaS have different base URL patterns
- ⚠ Time series queries return Dynatrace metric key format — schema varies by metric
- ⚠ Davis AI problems are analyzed automatically — agents should query problems, not re-analyze
