Data exchange between Managed clusters and Mission Control updated on Mon, 08 Apr 2019 13:05:46 +0200

Mon, 08 Apr 2019 13:05:46 +0200

All Dynatrace Managed clusters exchange information with Dynatrace Mission Control, at least once, or periodically. You may want to opt-out of certain communications, such as allowing Dynatrace to proactively access your clusters and environments. However, some messages are mandatory and can't be switched off. The purpose of this topic is to transparently document the data that Dynatrace receives from and pushes to your clusters. Note that all communication between clusters and Mission Control is encrypted and always cluster-initiated only. Dynatrace isn't able to initiate a connection to customer clusters.

For each synthetic monitor, the ID, description, type, success count, failure count and action count are transmitted.
