How can you view when a CPU saturation problem occurred and its effect on services?

The best method to view when a CPU saturation problem occurred and its effect on services is to open the Visual Resolution Path and replay the problem timeline. This tool within Dynatrace visually represents how different services are interconnected and how their performance was affected over time, especially during incidents like CPU saturation. By replaying the problem timeline, you can analyze the sequence of events leading up to the saturation, understand the impact on various services, and identify the root cause of the issue. This granular view helps in correlating CPU saturation with service performance metrics and user experience, providing a comprehensive understanding of the problem's implications.

Other choices, while useful in their respective contexts, do not provide the same level of detailed insight into the specific occurrence of CPU saturation and its effects purely based on time and service interaction. System logs may show errors or spikes but won't illustrate the dynamic relationships between services. CPU usage charts are important for understanding overall utilization trends but lack the context of specific incidents impacting service performance. Accessing the dashboard for overall metrics aggregates information but does not provide the timeline or specific incident detail necessary for in-depth analysis.
