Dynatrace announced new AI-powered data observability capabilities for its analytics and automation platform.
With Dynatrace® Data Observability, teams can confidently rely on all observability, security, and business events data in Dynatrace to fuel the platform’s Davis® AI engine to help eliminate false positives and deliver trustworthy business analytics and reliable automations.
Dynatrace Data Observability enables business analytics, data science, DevOps, SRE, security, and other teams to help ensure all data in the Dynatrace® platform is high quality. This complements the platform’s existing data cleansing and enrichment capabilities provided by Dynatrace OneAgent® to help ensure high quality for data collected via other external sources, including open source standards, such as OpenTelemetry, and custom instrumentation, such as logs and Dynatrace APIs. It enables teams to track the freshness, volume, distribution, schema, lineage, and availability of these externally sourced data, thereby reducing or eliminating the need for additional data cleansing tools.
Dynatrace Data Observability works with other core Dynatrace® platform technologies, including Davis hypermodal AI combining predictive, causal, and generative AI capabilities, to provide data-driven teams with the following benefits:
- Freshness: Helps ensure the data used for analytics and automation is up-to-date and timely and alerts to any issues—for example, out-of-stock inventory, changes in product pricing, and timestamp anomalies.
- Volume: Monitors for unexpected increases, decreases, or gaps in data—for example, the number of reported customers using a particular service—which can indicate undetected issues.
- Distribution: Monitors for patterns, deviations, or outliers from the expected way data values are spread in a dataset, which can signal issues in data collection or processing.
- Schema: Tracks data structure and alerts on unexpected changes, such as new or deleted fields, to prevent unexpected outcomes like broken reports and dashboards.
- Lineage: Delivers precise root-cause detail into the origins of data and what services it will impact downstream, helping teams proactively identify and resolve data issues before they impact users or customers.
- Availability: Leverages the Dynatrace platform’s infrastructure observability capabilities to observe digital services’ usage of servers, networking, and storage, alerting on abnormalities such as downtime and latency, to provide a steady flow of data from these sources for healthy analytics and automation.
“Data quality and reliability are vital for organizations to perform, innovate, and comply with industry regulations,” said Bernd Greifeneder, CTO at Dynatrace. “A valuable analytics solution must detect issues in the data that fuels analytics and automation as early as possible. Dynatrace OneAgent has always helped ensure that the data it collects is of the highest quality. By adding data observability capabilities to our unified and open platform, we’re enabling our customers to harness the power of data from more sources for more analytics and automation possibilities while maintaining the health of their data, without any extra tools.”
Dynatrace Data Observability is expected to be generally available for all Dynatrace SaaS customers within 90 days of this announcement.

In live financial environments, capital markets software cannot pause for rebuilds. New capabilities are introduced as stacked technology layers to meet evolving demands while systems remain active, data keeps moving, and controls stay intact. AI is no exception, and its opportunities are significant: accelerated decision cycles, compressed manual workflows, and more effective operations across complex environments. The constraint isn't the models themselves, but the architectural environments they enter ...
Like most digital transformation shifts, organizations often prioritize productivity and leave security and observability to keep pace. This usually translates to both the mass implementation of new technology and fragmented monitoring and observability (M&O) tooling. In the era of AI and varied cloud architecture, a disparate observability function can be dangerous. IT teams will lack a complete picture of their IT environment, making it harder to diagnose issues while slowing down mean time to resolve (MTTR). In fact, according to recent data from the SolarWinds State of Monitoring & Observability Report, 77% of IT personnel said the lack of visibility across their on-prem and cloud architecture was an issue ...

Technology management is evolving, and in turn, so is the scope of FinOps. The FinOps Foundation recently updated their mission statement from "advancing the people who manage the value of cloud" to "advancing the people who manage the value of technology." This seemingly small change solidifies a larger evolution: FinOps practitioners have organically expanded to be focused on more than just cloud cost optimization. Today, FinOps teams are largely — and quickly — expanding their job descriptions, evolving into a critical function for managing the full value of technology ...
Enterprises are under pressure to scale AI quickly. Yet despite considerable investment, adoption continues to stall. One of the most overlooked reasons is vendor sprawl ... In reality, no organization deliberately sets out to create sprawling vendor ecosystems. More often, complexity accumulates over time through well-intentioned initiatives, such as enterprise-wide digital transformation efforts, point solutions, or decentralized sourcing strategies ...
Nearly every conversation about AI eventually circles back to compute. GPUs dominate the headlines while cloud platforms compete for workloads and model benchmarks drive investment decisions. But underneath that noise, a quieter infrastructure challenge is taking shape. The real bottleneck in enterprise AI is not processing power, it is the ability to store, manage and retrieve the relentless volumes of data that AI systems generate, consume and multiply ...
The 2026 Observability Survey from Grafana Labs paints a vivid picture of an industry maturing fast, where AI is welcomed with careful conditions, SaaS economics are reshaping spending decisions, complexity remains a defining challenge, and open standards continue to underpin it all ...
The observability industry has an evolving relationship with AI. We're not skeptics, but it's clear that trust in AI must be earned ... In Grafana Labs' annual Observability Survey, 92% said they see real value in AI surfacing anomalies before they cause downtime. Another 91% endorsed AI for forecasting and root cause analysis. So while the demand is there, customers need it to be trustworthy, as the survey also found that the practitioners most enthusiastic about AI are also the most insistent on explainability ...
In the modern enterprise, the conversation around AI has moved past skepticism toward a stage of active adoption. According to our 2026 State of IT Trends Report: The Human Side of Autonomous AI, nearly 90% of IT professionals view AI as a net positive, and this optimism is well-founded. We are seeing agentic AI move beyond simple automation to actively streamlining complex data insights and eliminating the manual toil that has long hindered innovation. However, as we integrate these autonomous agents into our ecosystems, the fundamental DNA of the IT role is evolving ...
AI workloads require an enormous amount of computing power ... What's also becoming abundantly clear is just how quickly AI's computing needs are leading to enterprise systems failure. According to Cockroach Labs' State of AI Infrastructure 2026 report, enterprise systems are much closer to failure than their organizations realize. The report ... suggests AI scale could cause widespread failures in as little as one year — making it a clear risk for business performance and reliability.
