Slowdown - decrease of performance in one of your operational services or applications Resource - Indicates resource contention, many of which in link of name. Custom Alerts - can be defined when a specific threshold notification on a selected metric is required. Info - alerts of issues that may not be detrimental, but should have notifications of changes of occurrence. Indicate manually triggered events that don't result in the creation of a new problem.
Traffic drops Traffic spikes Increases in failure

T/F: User action can be a key user action and conversion goal ✔✔True
You are creating a user action naming rule and you want to show the "trip id" following by the ID number. You previewed your rule and see the following user action names: trip_id 161&sucesss =1 and trip_id 1920&success=0. What do you need to show only trip_id161 or trip_id1920 as the user action name? ✔✔An additional processing step
How long does it take for a user session to be visible in the user session search? ✔✔Typically within 4 minutes
What is USQL in Dynatrace? ✔✔User session query language - allows you to run powerful queries, segmentations and aggregations on captured user session and user action performance data
Why is transfer size an important Digital Experience Management (DEM) metric? ✔✔A large transfer size might not lead to poor performance, but it does use up data from a user's data plan when accessed on a mobile device.
You are interested in analyzing user sessions based on specific browser and version.
