# What is Dynatrace and How to get started

If you are new to Dynatrace I recommend starting with "What is Dynatrace in 15 Minutes"

[![Watch it on YouTube](https://img.youtube.com/vi/qo6vjyE-Ak0/0.jpg)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qo6vjyE-Ak0)

After you are familiar with the basics check out the content of this repository which provides  supporting material for the longer 1-hour episode [*What is Dynatrace and How to get started!*](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rw8u3oZ4RdY)

## Step 1: Get your own Dynatrace Trial

## Step 2: Discover Dynatrace Playground Tenant

Every Dynatrace Trial user has access to a special [Discover Dynatrace (Playground) Tenant](https://wkf10640.apps.dynatrace.com/) that allows you to explore Dynatrace and all our use cases and capabilities.
The Playground tenant is observing several applications running on k8s clusters.

Some shared **read-only Dynatraced Dashboards** I've uploaded for you:
* [(Live Dashboard) Getting Started Dashboard](https://wkf10640.apps.dynatrace.com/ui/document/v0/#share=eaa07354-fcf8-4723-8c26-8ca2b0f120a4)

## Step 3: Ingest data into your own Tenant

In your own tenant simply follow the steps to data into Dynatrace. The most popular options are
* Deploy the [Dynatrace OneAgent](https://www.dynatrace.com/support/help/setup-and-configuration/dynatrace-oneagent) on VMs, [Kubernetes](https://www.dynatrace.com/support/help/setup-and-configuration/setup-on-k8s), OpenShift or CloudFoundry
* Ingest [OpenTelemetry](https://www.dynatrace.com/support/help/extend-dynatrace/opentelemetry), Prometheus(https://www.dynatrace.com/support/help/extend-dynatrace/extend-metrics/ingestion-methods/prometheus) or [external logs](https://www.dynatrace.com/support/help/extend-dynatrace/extend-logs)
* Monitor your [Cloud Platforms](https://www.dynatrace.com/support/help/setup-and-configuration/setup-on-cloud-platforms) such as AWS, Google Cloud Platform, Azure or Heroku
* Enable 600+ extensions such as SNMP, WMI, JMX, SQL and many more through the [Dynatrace Hub](https://www.dynatrace.com/hub/)

## Step 4: Analyze your data

Like we did on the Playground Tenant - start exploring your data by opening the respective Dynatrace App for your Use Case.

You can also follow my **Hands-On Tutorial Notebooks** on the **Discover Dynatrace Tenant**:

## Step 5: Integrate and Automate based on your data

Start by building workflows to connect Dynatrace with your tool ecosystem.

The Playground Tenant has [some Workflows](https://wkf10640.apps.dynatrace.com/ui/apps/dynatrace.automations/workflows) setup to showcase automated release validation with the [(App) Site Reliability Guardian](https://wkf10640.apps.dynatrace.com/ui/apps/dynatrace.site.reliability.guardian/)

In your own tenant feel free to explore all the capabilities of Dynatrace Workflows.
To learn more about Workflows check out:

* [Dynatrace Workflows Quickstart Documentation](https://www.dynatrace.com/support/help/platform-modules/cloud-automation/workflows/quickstart)

## Step 6: Extend Dynatrace with an Extension or App

Learn more about building your own Dynatrace App based on AppEngine on the [Dynatrace Developer Portal](https://developer.dynatrace.com)

Also explore the [(App) Dynatrace Hub](https://wkf10640.apps.dynatrace.com/ui/apps/dynatrace.hub/) with apps that are already available
