Dynatrace Query Language

Dynatrace Query Language (DQL) is a powerful tool to explore your data and discover patterns, identify anomalies and outliers, create statistical modeling, and more based on data stored in Dynatrace Grail storage.

DQL offers maximum flexibility because it is built for processing arbitrary event data, requiring no up-front description of the input data's schema contrary to relational databases like SQL tables.
