What information does Dynatrace use to tag entities automatically?

Dynatrace utilizes rule-based tagging to automatically assign tags to entities. This approach allows the platform to dynamically organize and categorize entities, such as applications, services, and hosts, based on predefined rules and conditions. These rules can consider various attributes associated with entities, including properties like environment, technology type, and performance metrics.

By leveraging rule-based tagging, Dynatrace enhances the efficiency of monitoring and managing entities. These automatically generated tags facilitate better visibility and organization, enabling teams to filter and analyze data more effectively. This contrasts with the other methods, such as manual input, which can be time-consuming and prone to human error, or default settings that may not capture the intricacies of unique environments. Geographical data could inform certain tagging strategies, but it does not serve as the primary method for automatic tagging in Dynatrace. Therefore, relying on rule-based tagging aligns with the principles of automation and efficiency that Dynatrace promotes.
