How long does it typically take for a user session to be visible in the user session search?

User sessions typically become visible in the user session search after approximately 4 minutes. This delay is attributed to the time required for data processing and ingestion within Dynatrace. When a user interacts with an application, those interactions generate telemetry data that is subsequently sent to Dynatrace for analysis. The platform needs to process this data, which includes aggregating and indexing it to make it searchable.

After the data has been ingested, it takes some time for the application to associate user actions with specific sessions before they can be presented in the user session search. This processing timeline helps ensure that the session data is accurate and comprehensive before being made available for querying or reporting.

Understanding this timeframe is crucial for users and administrators when they are monitoring application performance and user behavior, as it sets expectations for when they can expect to see real-time user interactions reflected in the Dynatrace interface.
