How do host groups affect process groups detection in Dynatrace?

Host groups play a significant role in how Dynatrace analyzes and organizes processes. When processes are deployed across different host groups, Dynatrace can treat these deployments as distinct entities. This means that if the same application or process runs on multiple hosts, each instance can be classified into its own process group based on its corresponding host group.

This separation allows for more granular monitoring and management of resources and performance. By isolating processes in different host groups, Dynatrace ensures that it can recognize variations in resource utilization, performance metrics, and other critical attributes specific to each environment. Thus, the identification of separate process groups for the same application in different host contexts enhances the observability and management capabilities provided by Dynatrace, allowing users to fine-tune configurations and resolve issues more efficiently.
