Dynatrace deployed Davis AI, an engine that automatically scans IT environments to detect performance anomalies and pinpoint their root cause — without a human having to manually dig through logs or alerts. When something goes wrong in a cloud application or infrastructure, the system identifies the precise source of the problem and notifies operations teams.

Davis AI uses causal AI (a form of AI that traces cause-and-effect relationships) to automatically evaluate metrics, logs, traces, and topology data across an organization's IT stack. It ingests over 80 built-in system event types and correlates related anomalies into a single problem report, reducing alert overload. The root cause analysis engine traverses Dynatrace's Smartscape topology graph — a real-time map of how software components depend on each other — to produce deterministic, explainable problem diagnoses for operations teams.
