Introduction

Welcome to this observability clinic! In today's session, we will be discussing an exciting new feature called Davis Exploratory Analysis. This feature allows you to efficiently explore and optimize your systems with just a single click. Whether you're a performance engineer or a Kubernetes operator, this tool will undoubtedly save you a tremendous amount of time and effort in optimizing your deployments.

We are honored to have Wolfgang Beer, a Principal Product Manager, as our speaker today. He will be providing insights into the newest tricks of Davis and explaining how you can leverage Davis AI in different ways. Before we dive into the topic, let's go over some housekeeping rules for this webinar.

The Value of Davis Exploratory Analysis

Davis Exploratory Analysis is a groundbreaking feature that supplements the automatic problem detection and analysis provided by Davis AI. It specifically focuses on exploratory use cases and optimization use cases, allowing experts and users in general to efficiently explore and optimize their systems with a single click.

Traditionally, users have had to wait for an incident to occur in order to see Davis in action. However, with the new exploratory analysis feature, users have the power to manually trigger Davis and explore specific parts of their system in real-time. This not only saves time but also provides valuable insights and recommendations for optimization.

How Does Davis Exploratory Analysis Work?

Davis Exploratory Analysis is built upon a sophisticated algorithm that utilizes various signal transformations and statistical analyses to identify Relevant metric signals. These metric signals are then ranked based on similarity to a selected reference signal, allowing users to focus their analysis on the most relevant data.

The algorithm employs techniques such as time shift and smoothing transformations to uncover Hidden relationships and Patterns within the data. The resulting ranked results are presented to the user in a side panel, where each signal is accompanied by a navigational link to the corresponding metric.

To ensure transparency and trust, the algorithm and methodology behind Davis Exploratory Analysis are extensively documented in the Dynatrace help pages. Users have access to detailed information on the underlying algorithms and transformations, allowing them to replicate and verify the results themselves.

Optimizing Kubernetes Clusters with Davis Exploratory Analysis

Davis Exploratory Analysis is particularly useful for Kubernetes operators who constantly strive to optimize their clusters and workloads. Here are some key areas where Davis can assist in optimizing Kubernetes clusters:

Sizing Your Cluster

• Properly sizing your cluster is crucial for efficient resource allocation. Davis can help you determine the ideal number of nodes, cores, and memory based on your workload requirements.

Managing Node Utilization

• Davis allows you to analyze the CPU and memory utilization of your nodes in real-time. By comparing usage versus limits, you can identify inefficiencies and adjust resource allocations accordingly.

Optimizing Persistent Volumes

• Persistent volume claims (PVCs) can contribute to unnecessary costs and resource consumption. Davis can help you identify and optimize your PVCs to minimize wastage and improve system performance.

Validating and Optimizing Workloads

• Davis provides valuable insights into the CPU and memory utilization of your workloads. By adjusting resource requests and limits, you can optimize workload performance and reduce unnecessary resource consumption.

With Davis Exploratory Analysis, optimizing your Kubernetes clusters becomes a streamlined and data-driven process. By leveraging the power of AI and real-time insights, you can make informed decisions and improve the efficiency of your deployments.

Transparency and Documentation of Davis Exploratory Analysis

At Dynatrace, we value transparency and aim to provide users with a clear understanding of how our features work. To this end, we have extensively documented the algorithms and methodologies behind Davis Exploratory Analysis in our help pages. Users can access detailed information and a step-by-step explanation of the entire process.

Furthermore, we actively encourage user feedback and engagement. If you have any questions or suggestions regarding Davis Exploratory Analysis or any other feature, please reach out to our support team or join our community forum. We are here to listen and continuously improve the user experience.

Conclusion

Davis Exploratory Analysis is a Game-changer for system optimization and performance engineering. By leveraging the power of AI and advanced analytics, users can gain valuable insights into their systems and make informed decisions to improve efficiency and reduce costs.

Whether you're a Kubernetes operator looking to optimize your clusters or a performance engineer seeking to streamline deployments, Davis Exploratory Analysis is a must-have tool in your arsenal. With its intuitive interface and transparent documentation, you can trust Davis to deliver accurate and actionable insights.
