Dynatrace API consultants

Q: What kind of data can we access through the Dynatrace API?

The API exposes metrics (CPU, memory, response times), distributed traces, log data, topology maps, problem notifications, and synthetic monitoring results. You can query historical data for reporting or subscribe to real-time events for automated responses.

Q: Can Dynatrace API data trigger automated incident response workflows?

Yes. When Dynatrace detects a problem, the API can trigger workflows that create tickets, notify teams, scale infrastructure, or execute remediation scripts. We build these automated response pipelines so your team responds faster and issues are documented automatically.

Q: How does Dynatrace differ from simpler monitoring tools like Uptime Robot?

Simple monitoring tools check whether your site is up or down. Dynatrace provides deep application performance monitoring — tracking individual transactions through your entire stack, identifying slow database queries, and correlating issues across services. It is designed for complex applications, not just availability checks.

Q: Is Dynatrace suitable for monitoring cloud-native and containerised applications?

Dynatrace is built for modern infrastructure including Kubernetes, Docker, AWS, Azure, and GCP. It automatically discovers and maps containerised services and their dependencies, which is essential for monitoring microservice architectures where issues can cascade across services.

Q: Can we build custom dashboards and reports using the Dynatrace API?

Yes. The API lets you pull performance metrics into custom dashboards, business intelligence tools, or automated reports. This is useful for stakeholders who need infrastructure health data presented alongside business metrics rather than in the standard Dynatrace interface.

Q: How can Osher help us get more value from our Dynatrace investment?

Many organisations use Dynatrace primarily as a dashboard without connecting it to their operational workflows. We help by building API integrations that turn monitoring data into automated actions — incident management, performance reporting, and infrastructure scaling — so Dynatrace actively improves your operations.

We can help you automate your business with Dynatrace API and hundreds of other systems to improve efficiency and productivity. Get in touch if you’d like to discuss implementing Dynatrace API.

About Dynatrace API

Dynatrace is an application performance monitoring and observability platform that tracks the health of your software infrastructure in real time. The Dynatrace API gives development and operations teams programmatic access to monitoring data — metrics, traces, logs, and topology information — so they can build custom integrations, automated responses, and reporting pipelines around infrastructure health.

For businesses running critical web applications or cloud infrastructure, Dynatrace catches performance issues before they become outages. It monitors everything from server CPU usage to individual user sessions, using AI to correlate issues across your stack and pinpoint root causes. The API means this intelligence can trigger workflows in other systems.

Where the Dynatrace API becomes particularly valuable is in automated incident response. When it detects a degradation or error spike, an API-driven workflow can create incident tickets, notify on-call engineers, scale infrastructure, or roll back deployments. This kind of AI-driven automation turns monitoring from a passive dashboard into an active defence system.

At Osher, we help businesses connect monitoring data to operational workflows. Our integration team has built pipelines that take Dynatrace alerts and feed them into ticketing systems, Slack channels, and remediation scripts. Having observability data flow into your operational tools automatically is the difference between catching problems early and finding out from customers.

How it works

We work hand-in-hand with you to implement Dynatrace API

As Dynatrace API consultants we work with you hand in hand build more efficient and effective operations. Here’s how we will work with you to automate your business and integrate Dynatrace API with integrate and automate 800+ tools.

Step 1

Review your current monitoring and incident response processes

We assess what you are currently monitoring, how alerts are handled, and where gaps exist in your observability. This includes reviewing your existing Dynatrace configuration or evaluating whether Dynatrace is the right fit for your infrastructure.

Step 2

Configure Dynatrace monitoring for your infrastructure

Deploy Dynatrace agents across your application servers, containers, and cloud services. Configure the monitoring to capture the metrics, traces, and logs that matter for your specific applications and SLA requirements.

Step 3

Set up API access and authentication

Generate API tokens with appropriate scopes for your integration needs. We configure authentication and access controls so your automated workflows can read monitoring data and trigger actions securely without exposing sensitive infrastructure details.

Step 4

Build automated alerting and incident workflows

Connect Dynatrace problem notifications to your incident management tools, communication channels, and remediation scripts via the API. When performance issues are detected, the right people are notified and initial response actions execute automatically.

Step 5

Create custom reporting and data pipelines

Build API-driven pipelines that pull performance metrics into your reporting dashboards, data warehouse, or business intelligence tools. This gives stakeholders visibility into application health alongside business metrics in the formats they already use.

Step 6

Tune alerting thresholds and expand coverage

After running for a few weeks, review alert accuracy to reduce false positives and catch missed issues. We adjust thresholds, add monitoring for newly deployed services, and refine automated responses based on how real incidents play out.
