Build a Custom Dynatrace App (Bonus)
< Previous Bonus Challenge - Home
Introduction
We have learned how to use Copilot for several different things, eg: Improve instrumentation or improve Dynatrace setup.
As a bonus hackathon task we want you to create your own Dynatrace App that displays the most important information about the Casino App. Its up to your imagination on what that app looks like. Could be to visualize key metrics or errors or its just a portal to open your app in the browser.
The goal of this excericse is to also make you familiar with building your own Dynatrace App
