Dt Obs Problems

This is your go-to when Davis detects something wrong in your Dynatrace environment and you need to figure out what's breaking. It handles the problem analysis workflow: listing active issues, identifying root causes from the causal dependency graph, tracking blast radius across affected entities and users, and analyzing recurring patterns. The skill emphasizes getting the field names right (it's event.status not status, event.name not title) and always filtering out duplicates with not(dt.davis.is_duplicate). Most useful when you're triaging incidents and need to quickly understand which service is the actual root cause versus just a symptom, or when you want to see problem trends over time to catch systemic issues.

Problem Analysis Skill

Analyze Dynatrace AI-detected problems including root cause identification, impact assessment, and correlation with logs and metrics.

Use Cases

1. Active Problem Triage

Goal: List and prioritize currently active problems
Trigger: "active problems", "what problems are open", "current issues", "availability issues"
Done: Prioritized list of active problems with category, user impact, and display IDs

2. Root Cause Investigation

Goal: Identify the root cause entity for a specific problem
Trigger: "root cause of P-12345", "what caused this problem", "which entity is the root cause"
Done: Root cause entity identified with affected entity list and blast radius

3. Problem Trending

Goal: Analyze problem patterns over time to identify recurring issues
Trigger: "recurring problems", "problem history", "problem trends last 30 days"
Done: Trend data showing problem frequency, recurring root causes, and resolution times
