Introduction

Hey, hi everyone! Welcome to ISA Training Solutions. We will wait for two more minutes for other learners to join and then we'll start our discussion. Thank you all for joining. We will start our discussion shortly.

Introduction

Welcome everyone to ISA Training Solutions. Hope my voice is audible and my screen is visible to everyone. I'm Sarangan and I will take you through today's learning about the Dynatrace APM tool.

Course Content Overview

Today, we're going to discuss the course content and what we will cover throughout this journey. If you have any specific requirements or need more clarity on certain topics, please stop me at any point, and we will discuss them before moving on.

About the Trainer

I have close to 15 years of experience in performance testing and engineering. I train professionals in Dynatrace, AppDynamics, New Relic, DataDog, Performance Engineering concepts, LoadRunner, JMeter, Neoload, and Gatling. I have experience working with multiple clients across different technologies and verticals.

Course Content

What Are APM Tools?

Many performance testers lack a clear understanding of what APM tools really are. Application Performance Monitoring or Management (APM) tools and their differentiation are what we will dive into in this topic.

Why APM Tools?

We will discuss why it is crucial for developers, performance testers, and engineers to learn APM tools. This tool is not just for performance testers; it's beneficial for many roles provided the activity they perform is relevant.

Dynatrace and Its Competitors

We will identify other APM tools available in the market and get an understanding of Dynatrace's competitors.

Deployment Models

We will look at the two deployment models in Dynatrace: On-Premises Managed Model and SaaS Model. Each model's preferences and suitability for various industries will be discussed.

Installation

We will discuss how to install Dynatrace agents and configure them. Each layer from Browser to App Server and DB Server will have an agent configured, which will collect data and send it to Dynatrace.

Frontend Monitoring

Front-end monitoring is essential, and we will discuss agent and agentless monitoring methods.

APIs in Dynatrace

We will explore REST API concepts in Dynatrace and understand how to create applications using configuration APIs.

Session Replay

The session replay feature records user interaction, which allows playback to analyze performance accuracy at specific times.

User Sessions

User sessions help track lengthy user page navigations in a manageable way.

Metrics, SLO, and Observability

We will discuss the metrics tab, SLO (Service Level Objective), and observability concepts like metrics, logs, traces, and events (MELT).

Dashboard Creation

Creating effective dashboards from different tabs like front-level, services-level data will streamline our monitoring process.

Problem Notification

Learn to configure problem notifications to alert channels like email and Slack. We will also discuss root cause analysis and visual resolution paths.

Profiling and Optimization

Focus on profiling, optimizing features in Dynatrace, and understanding CPU and memory data collection methods.

Synthetic Monitoring

Discuss the critical topic of synthetic monitoring, HTTP Monitor, setting up local/private machines for monitoring, and management zones.

Service and Host Monitoring

Explore how to monitor processes and services running on your servers, both Windows and Linux, along with database and network monitoring.

Performance Testing Tools Integration

Understand how to integrate performance testing tools like LoadRunner and JMeter with Dynatrace for enhanced monitoring.

Best Practices and Industry Trends

Finally, we will touch upon best practices, real-world scenarios, and discuss interview questions and certification exam questions.

Practical Lab

This training covers practical lab exercises to help you install agents, configure monitoring, create dashboards, and perform root cause analysis, among other dynamic tasks.
