Service monitoring settings

You can modify service settings both globally—across all services in your environment—or for individual services.

To define service settings globally via UI, in the Dynatrace menu go to Settings > Server-side service monitoring.

To define service settings on the service level via UI,

  1. In the Dynatrace menu, select Services.
  2. Select the service you want to configure.
  3. On the service overview page, open the browse menu (…) and select Edit.

APIs are available for the majority of the settings.

Rules and settings on the service level override the ones defined globally.
