Davis AI

Dynatrace Davis AI provides intelligent analytics and conversational AI capabilities. dtctl exposes two major Davis features: Analyzers for statistical analysis and CoPilot for conversational AI interactions.

Davis Analyzers

Davis analyzers perform statistical computations on your observability data — forecasting, change-point detection, correlation, and anomaly detection.

List Analyzers

# List all available Davis analyzers
dtctl get analyzers

Execute an Analyzer

# Run a forecast analyzer with a DQL timeseries query
dtctl exec analyzer dt.statistics.GenericForecastAnalyzer \
  --query "timeseries avg(dt.host.cpu.usage)"

# Execute an analyzer using input from a file
dtctl exec analyzer dt.statistics.GenericForecastAnalyzer \
  --file analyzer-input.yaml

# Validate analyzer input without executing
dtctl exec analyzer dt.statistics.GenericForecastAnalyzer \
  --query "timeseries avg(dt.host.cpu.usage)" \
  --validate

Common Analyzers

Analyzer	Description
`dt.statistics.GenericForecastAnalyzer`	Predict future metric values based on historical trends
`dt.statistics.GenericChangePointAnalyzer`	Detect significant changes in metric behavior
`dt.statistics.GenericCorrelationAnalyzer`	Find correlations between metric time series
`dt.statistics.GenericAnomalyDetectionAnalyzer`	Identify anomalous metric patterns

Davis CoPilot

Davis CoPilot is Dynatrace’s conversational AI assistant. dtctl lets you interact with CoPilot from the terminal, including chat, natural-language-to-DQL translation, and document search.

List CoPilot Skills

# List all available CoPilot skills
dtctl get copilot-skills

Chat

# Ask a question with streaming output
dtctl exec copilot "What is DQL?" --stream

# Provide additional context
dtctl exec copilot "Why is my service slow?" \
  --context "Service: payment-api, Environment: production"

# Add custom instructions to guide the response
dtctl exec copilot "Summarize recent incidents" \
  --instructions "Focus on infrastructure-related issues only"

# Disable documentation lookup for faster responses
dtctl exec copilot "Explain gRPC" --no-docs

Natural Language to DQL

# Convert a natural language question to a DQL query
dtctl exec copilot nl2dql "show me error logs from the last hour"

DQL to Natural Language

# Explain a DQL query in plain English
dtctl exec copilot dql2nl \
  "fetch logs | filter status='ERROR' | summarize count(), by:{host}"

Document Search

# Search across Dynatrace documents using natural language
dtctl exec copilot document-search "CPU performance analysis" \
  --collections notebooks
