What limitation does a Monitoring Viewer have in Dynatrace?

A Monitoring Viewer in Dynatrace is assigned a role that allows them to primarily interact with monitoring data in a read-only manner. This means that they can view various metrics, dashboards, and alerts but do not have the permissions to modify any settings or configurations within the Dynatrace environment.

This role is designed to ensure that users can engage with the data provided by Dynatrace without having the ability to alter the overarching configurations that could affect system performance or security. By restricting access to read-only functionality, it helps organizations maintain control over monitoring and analytical processes while still enabling stakeholders to stay informed about system status and performance without introducing risk.

The other options involve capabilities that are beyond the scope of what a Monitoring Viewer can do. For instance, changing settings would require administrative access, downloading OneAgent typically involves permissions that enable installation and configuration changes, and accessing sensitive log file data may necessitate elevated privileges to protect the integrity and confidentiality of the information. Therefore, adopting the read-only access approach helps in aligning with best security practices while fostering informed decision-making from the monitoring data available.
