PurePath Replay Session Replay Video Capture Screen RUM

2. Which OneAgent component specifically handles log collection?

Java Sensor Log Module Network Agent OS Sensor

3. What is the native query language recently introduced to explore data in Dynatrace called?

PromQL SQL DQL (Dynatrace Query Language) LogQL

4. In a Kubernetes context, how is OneAgent generally deployed to cover the whole cluster?

By installing an .exe executable on the master By deploying it as a DaemonSet (often via a Kubernetes Operator) By adding it as a sidecar to every pod By configuring Prometheus to scrape the data

5. In Grail, which DQL keyword is used to retrieve data from a logs bucket?

SELECT GET fetch query

6. What unit of measure does Dynatrace use to bill metrics, logs and security events?

Host Units DEM Units DDU (Davis Data Units) Storage Units

Chapter Monitoring with robots at a defined frequency

7. Which type of synthetic monitor is best suited to checking only the validity of an SSL certificate?

Browser Monitor HTTP Monitor Port Monitor DNS Monitor

8. What is the name of the artificial intelligence built into Dynatrace?

Cortana Watson Davis Copilot

9. What is the benefit of using 'Request Attributes'?

Changing the colour of charts Extracting specific values from HTTP requests (e.g. customer ID, basket amount) to filter PurePaths Reducing CPU consumption Blocking unauthorised access

10. What is the main role of the ActiveGate in a Dynatrace architecture?

Storing the long-term database Acting as a secure proxy and routing gateway for OneAgent traffic Replacing OneAgent on cloud servers Generating dashboards

11. What is 'eBPF' technology used for in the Dynatrace context (via Beyla)?

Speeding up the graphical interface Collecting traces and metrics without any source code change or restart (network auto-instrumentation) Storing logs on disk Replacing SQL databases

12. What is a PurePath in the Dynatrace ecosystem?

A virtual private network An end-to-end distributed trace at code level A routing algorithm A way to clean up logs

Chapter Monitoring with robots at a defined frequency

13. What is 'Synthetic Monitoring' used for in Dynatrace?

Creating fake metrics for load tests Simulating user activity from robots to check availability 24/7 Generating artificial RUM data Anonymising production data

14. In the RUM module, what does 'Largest Contentful Paint' (LCP) measure?

The DNS server response time The time needed to display the largest visible element on screen The total size of images on the page The number of clicks per minute

15. What is the name of the single collection agent deployed on servers for Dynatrace?

DynaAgent OneAgent MetricBeat SmartAgent

16. What is a 'Host Group'?

A discussion group for administrators A logical entity used to group hosts in order to apply a common configuration to them (e.g. update policy) A network security zone The name of the data centre

17. What is the dynamic, real-time map generated by Dynatrace called?

Smartscape TopoMap ServiceGraph DynaFlow

18. Which feature lets you link a frontend error detected in RUM to a specific exception in the backend code?

Smartscape End-to-end Tracing (PurePath) Log Analytics Dashboarding

19. What does Dynatrace call a 'Problem'?

A ticket opened by a customer with support A set of anomalies correlated and analysed by the Davis AI that identifies a root cause An isolated 500 error A slow SQL query

20. Can the Davis AI predict disk saturation before it happens?

No, it only reacts to failures Yes, through predictive analysis based on consumption trends Only if the disk is more than 99% full Only on Windows
