How is Local Connectivity defined in Dynatrace?

Local Connectivity in Dynatrace refers specifically to the relationships and interactions between processes that are running on the same host. This metric is crucial for understanding how effectively different processes on a single server are communicating with one another through TCP connections. By focusing on the percentage of processes that establish TCP connections to other processes on the same host, Dynatrace allows users to gain insights into the efficiency of their microservices architecture, resource utilization, and performance bottlenecks related to inter-process communication.

When analyzing local connectivity, it helps identify whether there might be issues related to the configuration of services that could affect overall application performance. A high percentage of local connections could indicate efficient interactions among services, while a low percentage may point towards potential problems that could impact service responsiveness or lead to increased latency.

The other options present alternative definitions related to TCP connections, but they do not specifically focus on the interactions between processes on the same host, which makes them less pertinent to the concept of Local Connectivity in Dynatrace.
