How long can the custom property value string be in ActiveGate Extensions?

The custom property value string in ActiveGate Extensions can be up to 200 characters long. This limit is important as it allows for detailed metadata to be passed along with the data collected by Dynatrace without compromising system performance or data integrity.

Having a flexible character limit enables users to define custom properties that are descriptive enough to provide meaningful context while ensuring that they remain manageable within the system architecture. The design choice for a 200-character limit strikes a balance between offering sufficient detail and maintaining efficient processing capabilities. This limit accommodates a wide range of use cases while adhering to the overall architecture of the platform, ensuring that ActiveGate remains effective in various environments.

Choosing a value higher than the actual limit would lead to potential truncation or loss of data fidelity, which could hinder troubleshooting or monitoring efforts. Thus, understanding the character limit is crucial for users when creating and managing custom properties within Dynatrace.
