[@silverfoxsilverfox6932]

How does the free trial work? If I sign up with my work email do I need to be on my work network? I get an error stating I can not access resources. from my current location.

Hello! Thanks for your interest in Dynatrace. If you sign up for our free trial with your work email, you don't need to be on your work network to access the platform. Some areas you may be trying to access require a log-in, and if you haven't yet completed the trial registration process, that may be causing this experience. If you've completed the registration process and are still unable to access our platform or resources, we recommend visiting our support area and chatting with a support specialist, opening a ticket or browsing the Dynatrace Community: support.dynatrace.com/

Your agent is collecting all data about the server and the application till code level so it's not a security breach ? Now you have all application data and performance, using that u can do anything right . Just want to understand my doubt .

[@grabnerandi]

Hi. You are correct on what we collect but thats not a security breach bc we can control who has access to that data. We have a very granular option to specify who is allowed to see which logs, metrics, traces, events …

Is it possible to create a dashboard based on data in a rds database or s3 json files? Say for example there is data about different tasks and jobs in a database table of in a json file in s3. Is it possible to show the data in a dashboard in dynatrace?

[@grabnerandi]

Hi. Yes. Dashboards have the option to execute custom code - and - one of the key use cases is to pull in data from an external data source.
