Layer7 Networking × Dynatrace

Full-stack observability that connects application performance to business outcomes.

About Dynatrace

Dynatrace is the global leader in software intelligence, delivering an all-in-one platform for application performance monitoring (APM), infrastructure observability, AIOps, and application security. Its Davis® AI engine provides deterministic, causation-based root cause analysis that eliminates alert noise and tells you exactly what broke, why, and what to do about it.

Unlike monitoring tools that generate dashboards and hope a human spots the anomaly, Dynatrace automates the entire observability lifecycle: automatic discovery, automatic instrumentation, automatic baselining, and automatic root cause identification. Its OneAgent technology deploys once and immediately provides full-stack visibility — from infrastructure metrics through application code to real user experience — without manual configuration.

Dynatrace serves the world's most demanding digital businesses: airlines managing real-time booking engines, banks processing millions of transactions, retailers operating global e-commerce platforms. When application performance is revenue, Dynatrace is the platform these organisations trust to ensure every transaction completes, every user experience meets expectations, and every anomaly is explained.

Why Layer7 Chose Dynatrace

Security and performance are not separate concerns — they are two faces of the same operational reality. A slow application haemorrhages users. A broken application creates attack surface. An unobserved application is an undefended application. Layer7 partners with Dynatrace because true security operations require visibility into application behaviour, not just network traffic.

When Layer7 deploys security controls — firewalls, web application firewalls, ZTNA, microsegmentation — those controls must not degrade application performance. Dynatrace gives us the visibility to prove that security does not come at the cost of user experience. Conversely, when an application behaves anomalously, Dynatrace helps distinguish a performance issue from a security incident — context that is invaluable for our SOC analysts.

For our clients operating critical digital services, Dynatrace provides the observability layer that connects infrastructure health, application performance, and business outcomes into a single model. Layer7 leverages this to deliver holistic managed services where security, performance, and availability are managed as one — not siloed into separate teams with separate tools making separate decisions.

How Layer7 Delivers Dynatrace

• Platform Deployment — Dynatrace OneAgent rollout across application infrastructure: servers, containers, Kubernetes clusters, and cloud workloads. Automated discovery and instrumentation with zero code changes.

• Application Performance Monitoring — End-to-end transaction tracing, code-level visibility into application performance, database query analysis, and third-party service dependency mapping.

• Infrastructure Monitoring — Full-stack infrastructure observability: compute, storage, network, cloud platform metrics, and container orchestration health — correlated with application performance data.

• AIOps and Automated Root Cause — Davis AI configuration for automated problem detection, root cause analysis, and intelligent alerting. Elimination of alert storms through causation-based correlation.

• Digital Experience Monitoring — Real User Monitoring (RUM) and Synthetic Monitoring deployment to measure actual user experience, detect degradation, and establish performance SLA baselines.

• Security-Performance Correlation — Integration of Dynatrace observability data with Layer7's security operations to correlate performance anomalies with security events, enabling faster incident classification and response.
