How are multiple configuration files evaluated in Dynatrace?

In Dynatrace, multiple configuration files are evaluated in alphabetical order. This systematic approach ensures consistency and predictability when it comes to processing configurations, which is crucial for maintaining the reliability of the monitoring and management settings. When configuration files are organized alphabetically, it allows users to easily manage and understand the order in which settings will be applied, reducing ambiguity in cases where settings might overlap or conflict. This method also simplifies troubleshooting because changes can be communicated clearly, knowing how the system will interpret the various files based on their names.
