Dynatrace Disaster Recovery

Modern cloud operations rely on observability platforms like Dynatrace to detect incidents and maintain service reliability. But while infrastructure and data may be protected, monitoring configurations themselves are often not recoverable.

With ControlMonkey, teams can now extend Cloud Disaster Recovery to Dynatrace configuration backup – ensuring dashboards, alerts, monitors, and metrics can be restored instantly in case of incidents, misconfigurations, or ransomware.

Introducing Dynatrace Configuration Backup & Recovery

ControlMonkey now protects critical Dynatrace configurations as part of its Cloud Disaster Recovery platform.

Key capabilities include:

  • Automated backup of Dynatrace dashboards, metrics, monitors, and alerts
  • Versioned snapshots of monitoring configurations
  • Rapid recovery of observability environments after incidents
  • Resilience Score across monitoring platforms
  • Unified disaster recovery method across cloud infrastructure and SaaS tools

How Dynatrace Disaster Recovery Works

ControlMonkey continuously protects Dynatrace configuration so teams can restore their monitoring environment to a known-good state when incidents occur.

Discover Dynatrace configurations

ControlMonkey connects to Dynatrace using secure APIs and automatically discovers configuration assets including dashboards, monitors, alerts, and metrics.

Snapshot and Backup

On a continuous basis, ControlMonkey captures the exact configuration state of Dynatrace resources and creates versioned snapshots of those configurations.

Recover 

If dashboards, monitors, or alerts are deleted or misconfigured, teams can quickly restore them from a good known snapshot – recovering observability environments in minutes.

Review & Govern

The ControlMonkey Cloud Resilience Dashboard provides visibility into DR readiness across cloud infrastructure and SaaS tools, helping teams identify gaps before incidents occur.

Stay Ahead with Dynatrace Disaster Recovery

As a CTO, I’m proud to introduce this capability. In my previous roles, having the ability to quickly recover from mistakes and investigate configuration changes would have saved days of troubleshooting and manual work

Observability platforms are critical for detecting and resolving incidents. If monitoring configurations are lost during an outage or attack, recovery becomes significantly harder.

ControlMonkey ensures Dynatrace configurations are protected alongside infrastructure and SaaS platforms. By continuously backing up configuration states and enabling rapid restoration, teams can maintain operational visibility even during critical incidents.

This extends disaster recovery beyond data and infrastructure – ensuring the monitoring systems themselves are resilient.

    Marketing Director

    Entra ID Backup & Disaster Recovery

    Microsoft Entra ID configurations are too critical to leave not backup or unversioned. With ControlMonkey’s new Entra ID support, your identity layer now receives structured backup, visibility, and recovery coverage – just like your data and cloud infrastructure.

    Why Backup and Govern Your Entra ID?

    Entra ID defines who can access production systems, cloud resources, and business applications. Yet many identity changes still happen manually – without versioning, drift visibility, or rollback capabilities.

    Backing up and governing Entra ID ensures:

    • Configuration Cyber Resilience – Recover users, roles, groups, and policies after mistakes or incidents.
    • Change Visibility – Track and review identity configuration changes over time.
    • Drift Detection – Identify manual changes that bypass Infrastructure as Code.
    • Audit Readiness and guardrails  – Have a clear RTO/RPO number for your Idindy layer.  Apply the same compliance guardrails across identity and infrastructure.

    Introducing Support for Cyber Resilience

    ControlMonkey now supports Microsoft Entra ID backup and recovery.
    With this release, teams gain:

    • Entra ID Visibility Inventory – Full visibility into users configuration, groups, roles polices, enterprise applications, and policies.
    • IaC Blind Spot Detection – See which Entra ID resources are IaC-managed and which are not.
    • Daily Entra ID Backup Snapshots – Automated configuration backups.
    • Disaster Recovery Time Machine – Restore Entra ID to a previous known-good state 
    • Import to IaC – Bring unmanaged identity resources under IaC control.

    Daily configuration versioning allows teams to investigate access history, recover from misconfigurations, and ensure compliance without manual reconstruction.

        FQA about Azure Bicep and Controlmonkey

        Resources managed by Bicep are codified and can be rebuilt. ControlMonkey helps teams identify which resources fall into that category and which do not.

        No. Azure Bicep support is limited to visibility and disaster recovery awareness. Terraform automation remains unchanged.

        Yes. Like CloudFormation, Bicep is included for visibility and disaster recovery coverage, not automation.

        Time Machine for Cloud Architecture

        Zack Bentolila

        Zack Bentolila

        Marketing Director

        Time Machine for Cloud Architecture

        In most cloud environments, no system actually stores your cloud architecture relationships.

        Security groups, routing rules, IAM permissions, load balancers, and SaaS configurations exist – but the relationships between them are not saved anywhere. When a security incident or outage occurs, teams discover too late that there is no historical record of how resources were connected, what depended on what, or how access paths were structured at the time things worked.

        Introducing Architecture Time Machine

        Architecture Time Machine is a capability within the ControlMonkey IaC Automation Platform that preserves your cloud architecture and security posture on a timeline.

        Architecture Time Machine extends ControlMonkey’s Cloud Resilience platform by preserving your cloud architecture and resource dependencies over time, not just the resources themselves.

        With daily environment snapshots, you can move backward on a timeline and explore how your infrastructure was connected at any point in time.

        Key benefits:

        • Rewind cloud architecture in time – View how resources and dependencies looked on any given day.
        • Explore historical dependencies – Understand what was connected to what before a change or incident.
        • Speed up incident investigation – Quickly answer “what changed?” without guesswork.
        • Visualize complex environments – Interactive dependency graphs make large architectures easier to reason about.
        • Reduce recovery blind spots – Restore with architectural confidence, not assumptions.

        Who Benefits from Architecture Time Machine

        Cloud & DevOps Managers – Get immediate answers during incidents. Understand what changed without relying on tribal knowledge or manual reconstruction.

        Security & Compliance Teams – Validate historical configurations for audits (SOC, PCI, internal reviews) and investigate configuration drift over time.

        Cloud Architects – Review how architecture evolved over time, Identify unintended complexity, sprawl, or anti-pattern, Use historical views to guide standardization and governance decision

        CIO & CISO:

        • Gain confidence that cloud recovery is predictable and provable
        • Reduce operational and compliance risk tied to configuration loss
        • Understand recovery readiness without diving into technical detail

        Controlmonkey Cloud Disaster Recovery – for Configuration

        When traffic drops, services break, or behavior changes unexpectedly, the root cause is often a dependency change – a security group update, a route table modification, or a detached resource.

        Architecture Time Machine helps you:

        • Improve visibility into historical cloud states
        • Reduce risk during incident response and postmortems
        • Strengthen alignment between IaC, reality, and recovery
        • Scale cloud environments with confidence, knowing you can always look back

        Get Started: Cloud DR Readiness Assessment

        Before the next audit or incident, understand your real recovery risk.

        The Cloud DR Readiness Assessment gives security and compliance leaders a clear, executive-level view of cloud configuration recovery — without disrupting production.

          FQA about Architecture Time Machine

          Cloud architecture is the structure and relationships between cloud resources, defining how systems are connected, secured, and dependent on one another.

          ControlMonkey captures the structure, configuration, and relationships between cloud resources – not just the resources themselves.

          This includes:

          • Network architecture (VPCs/VNets, subnets, routing, gateways)
          • Security and access controls (security groups, firewall rules, IAM roles and policies)
          • Traffic and exposure paths (load balancers, DNS, ingress/egress)
          • Resource dependencies (what was connected to what, and when)

          IaC and non-IaC resources (Terraform, OpenTofu, CloudFormation, and manual changes)

              New Relic Backup & Governance with ControlMonkey

              As organizations rely on real-time data pipelines, the configuration layer behind New Relic Disaster Recovery and Back-up is now available in ControlMonkey, giving DevOps teams a reliable way to back up and restore New Relic APM configurations just like they backup their cloud infrastructure.

              New Relic is a core Application Performance Monitoring (APM) platform used for live operations – powering dashboards, alerts, and incident response during production outages. Losing or misconfiguring it means losing visibility when it matters most.

              How ControlMonkey Protects Your New Relic Configuration

              ControlMonkey’s New Relic integration delivers automated New Relic backup and disaster recovery, fully managed through Terraform or OpenTufo and aligned with your cloud resources.

              ControlMonkey continuously discovers existing New Relic configurations and creates daily snapshots of the full APM configuration live state, and stores them as a governed, versioned source of truth. In the event of an outage, misconfiguration, or deletion, teams can restore New Relic configurations alongside the cloud resources they monitor.

              ControlMonkey GUI Showinf New Relic Backup

              What You Get with New Relic Backup

              With ControlMonkey, you can:

              • Automatically back up all New Relic configurations on a daily basis
              • Restore dashboards, alerts, and APM policies after outages or human error
              • Recover New Relic configurations tied to affected cloud resources
              • Maintain a governed, auditable source of truth for observability infrastructure

              Why New Relic Needs Backup and Disaster Recovery?

              New Relic is used for ongoing application and infrastructure monitoring. If its configuration is deleted or altered, teams lose monitoring and alerting during incident response and then they face undefined RTO (Recovery Time Objective) for observability. Monitoring and alerting must be rebuilt manually, delaying visibility during active incidents.

              New Relic disaster recovery defines and reduces observability RTO by enabling fast, consistent restoration of monitoring configurations.

              Benefits of ControlMonkey New Release Integration:

              ControlMonkey ensures your New Relic environment is:

              • Recoverable – Restore full APM configuration from backups
              • Resilient – Protect monitoring setups from deletions and misconfigurations
              • Governed – Enforce IaC alignment
              • Scalable – Protect New Relic as environments grow

                Confluent Cloud Backup & Governance

                As organizations rely on real-time data pipelines, the configuration layer behind Kafka becomes a silent source of operational risk. A single unintended change – whether accidental, automated, or malicious-can degrade throughput, break integrations, or take entire workloads offline.
                Modern platform teams need more than Kafka automation. They need a backup strategy and governance model for their Confluent Cloud configuration.

                Introducing Confluent Support in ControlMonkey

                ControlMonkey now brings full IaC governance and automated daily configuration snapshot to Confluent Cloud, giving teams a resilient, auditable, and restorable record of every streaming configuration.

                Key Capabilities

                • Complete Confluent Cloud asset inventory across clusters, networks, ACLs, role bindings, and private link access
                • Daily Confluent configuration backup snapshots for disaster recovery and security investigations
                • Disaster Recovery – Restore any configuration with a built-in time machine.
                • Rapid Terraform import for every Confluent resource
                • Governance guardrails with drift detection for unapproved or unexpected changes

                Stay Ahead by Reducing Cloud Risk in Kafka Environments

                Streaming systems are mission critical-and fragile when configuration changes go unnoticed.
                With ControlMonkey, Confluent teams can:

                • Establish a real backup strategy for all Confluent Cloud configurations
                • Reduce operational and security risk from misconfigurations or privilege misuse
                • Restore environments quickly with point-in-time snapshots
                • Enforce IaC discipline and eliminate ClickOps exposure
                • Replicate clusters and environments confidently using generated Terraform

                This is cloud resilience for Confluent Cloud – finally applied at the configuration layer.

                  New in ControlMonkey: Full IaC Automation for MongoDB Atlas

                  New in ControlMonkey: Full IaC Automation for MongoDB Atlas

                  As cloud environments grow, DevOps and SRE teams often run into issues caused by unnoticed configuration changes- an Atlas cluster parameter shifts, a backup schedule is altered, or an IP allowlist is updated without a clear record. These small gaps in visibility can trigger real production incidents, slow investigations, and create compliance friction.

                  MongoDB is a major part of this reality. It holds roughly 46% of the NoSQL database market and consistently ranks among the top five databases on DB-Engines. With such broad adoption, Atlas configurations become a strategic asset that must be governed, tracked, and protected with the same rigor applied to application code.

                  What is MongoDB Atlas IaC Automation Support?

                  ControlMonkey brings full Infrastructure-as-Code automation to MongoDB Atlas: rapid import of existing resources, daily configuration backups for business continuity, cloud-to-code mapping, and policy alignment. It lets teams manage Atlas with the same discipline and repeatability they already apply to cloud and Kubernetes environments.

                  Introducing MongoDB Atlas IaC Automation Support

                  ControlMonkey now supports MongoDB Atlas as a 3rd party vendor, giving DevOps teams full visibility, governance, and resilience for their MongoDB clusters, projects, users, and configurations.

                  Key Capabilities

                  • Complete MongoDB Atlas visibility across clusters, projects, users, and access policies
                  • One-click Terraform import for rapid onboarding of existing Atlas resources
                  • Daily configuration backups and time machine for instant rollback and investigation, ensuring business continuity.
                  • Cloud-to-code mapping for governance, accountability, and policy alignment
                  • Consistent IaC workflows across MongoDB, cloud, and SaaS providers

                  Benefits of Atlas IaC Automation Support

                  MongoDB Atlas hosts mission-critical workloads. ControlMonkey ensures your Atlas deployment stays stable, compliant, and resilient:

                  • Scale multi-region or cloning workflows with confidence.
                  • Enhance visibility across every MongoDB Atlas component
                  • Reduce risk from accidental deletion, changes, misconfigurations, or malicious updates
                  • Strengthen infrastructure governance with Terraform-aligned workflows
                  • Protect availability with configuration backups and reliable rollbacks

                    MongoDB Atlas Terraform and ControlMonkey – FAQ

                    It allows you to manage MongoDB Atlas resources – clusters, projects, users, access lists, backup settings, and more – using Terraform instead of manual changes.

                     IaC gives teams version control, review workflows, traceability, and a single source of truth. This reduces drift, prevents accidental changes, and improves operational stability across environments.

                    Yes. ControlMonkey automatically imports existing Atlas resources into Terraform, making it easy to onboard legacy environments without manual code writing.

                    ControlMonkey detects drift between your live Atlas configuration and Terraform code, notifies teams, and provides a clear view of what changed and when – helping prevent outages and security incidents.

                    Yes. ControlMonkey creates daily configuration snapshots of your Atlas environment configuration, enabling quick rollback, investigation, and disaster recovery for configuration-level changes.

                    Absolutely. Terraform-managed configurations make it easy to clone environments, replicate clusters, or scale Atlas deployments consistently across regions and stages.

                    ControlMonkey Adds Native Support for OPA Policies

                    Zack Bentolila

                    ControlMonkey Adds Native Support for OPA Policies

                    Many organizations have already standardized on Open Policy Agent (OPA) for enforcing cloud and infrastructure rules. ControlMonkey now supports running those same OPA Terraform Policies (Rego) directly inside your IaC governance workflows – no changes required. Bring your own policies. 

                    Introducing OPA Terraform Policy Support

                    • Use existing OPA logic: Run your current Rego policies as-is inside ControlMonkey.
                    • Keep your workflows: Reference OPA files from version control or write inline in ControlMonkey.
                    • Apply consistently: Map OPA policies to namespaces or stacks with the same enforcement levels used for Controlmonkey built-in policies.
                    • Combine sources: Use both ControlMonkey-managed policies and your own OPA rules in one place.
                    • No maintenance overhead: Keep using the OPA investment you already made – ControlMonkey handles execution and integration.

                    Why OPA Terraform Policies Matter for IaC Governance

                    This update is part of our commitment to meet customers where they are. Many large teams already maintain OPA Terraform Policies, and rewriting them isn’t practical.

                    With native OPA support, ControlMonkey runs your policies inside its own governance engine – letting you unify visibility, risk control, audit, and policy enforcement across your infrastructure, while keeping your existing toolchain.

                    ControlMonkey now supports OPA natively. Keep your existing Rego policies, integrate them into IaC workflows, and enforce governance automatically.
