Dynatrace Automation Engine

The Dynatrace AutomationEngine is a feature within the Dynatrace platform designed to enable automated workflows and actions across the software development lifecycle (SDLC) and IT operations. It combines observability data, Davis AI insights, and predefined or custom automation workflows to help teams proactively manage, optimize, and remediate issues in complex cloud environments.

Example:1

Automatic Remediation for Application Issues:

Automation:

• Dynatrace detects the anomaly via Davis AI.
• The AutomationEngine triggers a workflow to:
  • Scale up the affected service.
  • Notify the on-call engineer via Slack or email.
  • Open an incident in ServiceNow for visibility.

Result: Downtime is minimized, and service levels are maintained without manual intervention.

Example:2

Cloud resources are underutilized, causing unnecessary costs. Using automation, you can

• Monitor cloud usage metrics using Dynatrace.
• Identify idle resources or overprovisioned instances.

Trigger a workflow to:

• Shut down idle resources.
• Right-size overprovisioned virtual machines.
• Report savings to stakeholders.
