Dynatrace

Connecting Hawkeye to your Dynatrace account allows us to collect telemetry data, such as service performance, environment metrics, and application health.

This data enables real-time monitoring and insights into the performance of your applications running on Dynatrace.

Note

For each step, we’ve created a short demo walkthrough and a step-by-step guide. You can check out the demo for a visual guide to setting up your Dynatrace connection!
