Monitor all cloud platforms at once

Latest Dynatrace

With the Dynatrace Clouds app, you can manage cloud monitoring across different cloud providers and other applications. The app allows you to observe multiple cloud environments, their instances, resources, cost analysis, health, and optimization—all in one place.

Prerequisites

Clouds app shows data that is ingested by the following cloud integrations:

Layout

When you open the app without prior monitoring of cloud services, the start page presents you with all three cloud providers. If you select one, you'll be redirected to Settings to set up monitoring.
When you open the app with prior monitoring of cloud services, the start page shows you the default view of all services (see below for details).

Configure

Even after initially configuring a cloud service, you can access the same start page with the Configure button in the upper-right corner.

The Clouds app provides a menu bar on the left with built-in quick filters for:

Services
- All services
- Virtual Machines
- Databases
- Storage
- Functions
- Queues
- Kubernetes
Regions
- All regions
- NORAM
- EMEA
- APAC
- LATAM
- Other

The default view of all services is displayed in a table. To find necessary data, you can filter by these query parameters:

Instance name
Cloud
Service type
Environment
Region
Tags contain
Seen in
Affected by problem
Fetch metrics (available only when Services > Virtual machines/Storage/Functions/Queues quick filter is selected)

Select Search to run the query and return a table of matching resources in the following columns:

Problems
Name
Cloud
Environment
Region
Type
First seen
Last seen
Entity ID

Unified analysis entity details

The Unified analysis entity details panel is a crucial feature of the Clouds app. To display it, select the result provided in the Problems or Name column. Unified analysis entity details provides extensive entity information sorted by the following tabs:

Info—Provides information on Tags and Properties on a selected entity.
Problems—If there's an indication of a problem in the Problems column of the table, Unified analysis entity details displays the affected component.
Ownership—You can add or check a team responsible for this environment's governance.
Metrics—Besides displaying the metric charts here, you can open the metrics in Notebooks by selecting > Open in Notebook. To change the timeframe for these entity details, select the clock .
Events
Logs—If there's a log-related problem, this tab provides recommended queries with corresponding issues.

Run recommended queries
You will be charged for viewing each log record via Run recommended queries in the Logs tab. Anything other than that is not additionally charged.
