Settings API - Anomaly detection for applications schema table
Anomaly detection for applications (builtin:anomaly-detection.rum-web)
Dynatrace automatically detects application-related performance anomalies such as response time degradations, failure rate increases, and traffic spikes. Use these settings to configure detection sensitivity, set alert thresholds, or disable alerting for certain applications.
To avoid false-positive problem notifications, automated anomaly detection is only available for applications and services that have run for at least 20% of a week (7 days).
