dt-obs-problems

dt-obs-problems is a skill for Claude Code from Dynatrace/dynatrace-for-ai. It costs 123 tokens per session (4,267 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A tool for investigating Dynatrace problems, which are grouped alerts and related signals about detected anomalies, failures, or performance degradation.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to list active problems, identify the root cause of a problem ID, assess its impact, correlate related logs and metrics, and review problem history and resolution trends.
Why use it?
It helps move from an alert to the likely root cause, affected entities, user impact, and patterns in recurring incidents.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

dt-obs-problems scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 11d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

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

Overview

Dynatrace automatically detects anomalies, performance degradations, and failures across your environment, creating problems that aggregate related alert, warning and info-level events and provide root cause and impact insights.

What are Problems?

Problems are automatically detected, software and infrastructure health and resilience issues that:

  • Automatically correlate related alert, warning, and info-level events across services, infrastructure, frontend applications, and user sessions
  • Identify root causes using causal analysis of Smartscape dependencies
  • Assess business impact by tracking affected users and services
  • Reduce alert noise by grouping related symptoms into single problems that share the same root cause and impact
  • Track problem lifecycle from early detection through resolution

Event Kinds

The event.kind field (stable, permission) identifies the high-level event type:

event.kind value Description
DAVIS_EVENT Davis-detected infrastructure/application events
BIZ_EVENT Business events (ingested via API or captured from spans)
RUM_EVENT Real User Monitoring events
AUDIT_EVENT Administrative/security audit events

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
