Summary

Dynatrace offers a flexible rule-based tagging system to efficiently manage and organize large, dynamic environments by leveraging its Smartscape topology modeling and auto-detection capabilities. This system allows users to create and apply tags to services, processes, and hosts by defining rules with specific conditions, which are executed sequentially until a match is found. Users can restrict rules to certain process groups, technologies, or service types and specify conditions based on service properties, such as Web application ID or process group names. Once a tag is applied, it appears in the service's Properties and tags section and can be used for filtering services, generating tag-specific charts, and routing problem notifications to appropriate teams. The tagging system is supported by Dynatrace's automated discovery of hosts, processes, and services, and is enhanced by its metadata and topology modeling. The service properties available for tagging vary by technology type, providing a customizable framework for managing and analyzing service performance and responsibility.
