During network overhead throttling, what is the first pause duration implemented?

The first pause duration implemented during network overhead throttling is indeed 3 minutes. This duration is designed to strike a balance between allowing enough time for the network to stabilize and preventing excessive interruption to the data monitoring process.

The choice of a 3-minute pause is crucial for efficient resource management, as it allows for a timely response to network congestion without placing an undue burden on the system. A shorter duration, such as 1 minute, may not provide sufficient time for the network issues to be resolved, while longer options like 5 or 10 minutes could lead to excessive data loss or delays in monitoring.

This strategic approach helps maintain the integrity of performance monitoring and analytics by ensuring that network congestion does not adversely impact data collection and analysis. By adopting a 3-minute pause, Dynatrace ensures that the system remains responsive and effective in providing insights while also managing network stress efficiently.
