What role does a Log Viewer serve in the context of Dynatrace?

The Log Viewer in Dynatrace specifically allows users to access and view log contents generated by applications and services monitored by Dynatrace. This tool is essential for analyzing application behavior, troubleshooting issues, and understanding performance by inspecting logs that provide insights into application events, errors, and system behavior.

Accessing and viewing logs in the Log Viewer helps users correlate log entries with application performance metrics, which can aid in pinpointing the root cause of issues and facilitating better decision-making. This capability is integral to maintaining application health, optimizing performance, and enhancing the overall user experience.

In contrast, the other options suggest functionalities that either do not align with the purpose of the Log Viewer or are not permissible properties of the tool. For instance, editing sensitive log files requires permissions and functionalities beyond what the Log Viewer provides, and deploying OneAgent involves installation processes that are separate from log viewing. Monitoring Viewers is a broader category and does not specifically define the Log Viewer’s role. Thus, the scope of the Log Viewer is accurately captured by its function to allow for access and viewing of log contents.
