What additional metadata can be specified when setting up automatic tagging without rules?

When setting up automatic tagging in Dynatrace without the use of rules, one of the key features is the ability to specify host custom properties. Host custom properties allow users to enrich the data collected by Dynatrace with additional information that can improve the visibility and contextual understanding of the monitored environments. By utilizing these properties, users can tag hosts with relevant metadata such as environment, owner, purpose, or any other criteria that help in categorizing and managing resources more effectively.

This capability is critical because it allows for enhanced filtering and reporting based on the properties that have been associated with the hosts. It helps teams to view performance and health metrics in relation to the specific context of their infrastructure. The focus on host custom properties plays a significant role in ensuring that the data gathered aligns well with organizational needs and aids in decision-making processes for performance optimization and resource management.
