Dynatrace Advanced Observability Specialist Certification
Welcome to the Dynatrace Advanced Observability Certification.
The Dynatrace Advanced Observability Certification focuses on Practitioners who require an in-depth knowledge of end-to-end observability of their cloud and application environments, including security. It introduces advanced concepts of various cloud monitoring technologies, networking, virtualizations including containerized environments and how the latest Dynatrace allows efficient and seamless full stack monitoring. This certification allows the practitioner to scale up their observability practices through thorough understanding of how Grail allows deep analysis of their Traces, Metrics and Logs to proactively identify root cause and anomalies within the environment.
Note: You may attempt each exam up to four times within a 12-month period. After each attempt, a minimum waiting period of 14 days is required before you can schedule your next attempt, up to the fourth try. After your fourth attempt, the next availability will be 12 months from the date of your first attempt within the 12-month window. Please note that each attempt is subject to the applicable exam fees.
