Automated Dynatrace Problem Detection Alerts
Every few minutes, WebRun opens Dynatrace, checks for problems newly opened by Davis AI's anomaly detection, saves the root cause analysis to a Google Drive folder for the on call record, and posts an alert to Slack naming the affected application and the root cause so the team can start investigating right away.
How do I get alerted the moment Dynatrace opens a new problem?
WebRun checks Dynatrace every few minutes for problems newly opened by Davis AI's anomaly detection. It saves the root cause analysis to Google Drive for the incident record, and posts a Slack alert naming the application and cause, so the team can start investigating within minutes of a problem opening.
- New problems reach the on call channel within minutes of opening
- Root cause analysis is archived automatically for the incident record
- The team starts investigating with the cause already in hand

Questions, answered
Will it fix the problem or restart a service?
No. WebRun only reports what Davis AI already found. Fixing the problem is always done by your on call engineer.
Does WebRun do its own root cause analysis?
No. It reads and saves the root cause analysis Dynatrace's Davis AI already produces.
How fast does a new problem reach the team?
Within a few minutes of Dynatrace opening it, since the check runs every few minutes.
