Application Security and monitoring modes
The deployed Dynatrace monitoring mode can influence the Application Security results displayed in Dynatrace.
Full-Stack Monitoring mode
recommended
Full-Stack Monitoring mode provides complete application performance monitoring, code-level visibility, deep process monitoring, and Infrastructure Monitoring (including PaaS platforms).
Infrastructure Monitoring mode
Infrastructure Monitoring mode, where OneAgent is configured to provide physical and virtual infrastructure-centric monitoring, provides less complete monitoring than the Full-Stack Monitoring mode. The following functionalities are provided:
System metrics (CPU usage, memory usage, disk usage)
- Third-party vulnerability detection
- Code-level vulnerability detection
- Runtime Application Protection
Infrastructure Monitoring: Characteristics
Infrastructure Monitoring: Consumption
-
If you're using the Dynatrace Platform Subscription (DPS) licensing model, see Host monitoring (DPS): Infrastructure Monitoring.
-
If you're using the Dynatrace classic licensing, see Application and Infrastructure Monitoring (Host Units).
Discovery mode
OneAgent version 1.281+
Discovery mode is a lightweight monitoring mode that provides basic monitoring. The following functionalities are provided:
System metrics (CPU usage, memory usage, disk usage)
- Third-party vulnerability detection
- Code-level vulnerability detection
- Runtime Application Protection
For Application Security to work in Discovery mode, after enabling Discovery mode, you also need to enable code-module injection.
Discovery mode: Characteristics
Discovery mode: Consumption
Discovery mode is only available for the Dynatrace Platform Subscription (DPS) licensing model.
For monitoring consumption information, see Host monitoring (DPS): Foundation & Discovery.
