What can cause web server naming issues in Dynatrace?

Web server naming issues in Dynatrace can arise from unclear virtual host definitions. When virtual hosts are not clearly defined, it can lead to ambiguity in how requests are routed, making it difficult for Dynatrace to correctly attribute performance data to specific applications or services. This can result in inaccurate naming and representation of web servers within the monitoring interface, potentially complicating troubleshooting and performance analysis tasks.

In contrast, overlapping IP addresses typically lead to network conflicts rather than direct issues with server naming. Outdated software versions may impact monitoring capabilities or introduce bugs, but they don't typically alter how servers are named within the monitoring system. Missing DNS records can lead to connectivity issues, but if the server does resolve correctly and is misnamed, the root problem often lies with how the virtual hosts are defined. Therefore, the most relevant cause of naming issues specifically relates to the definitions of virtual hosts in the configuration.
