What default naming option can be used for technologies that do not allow application naming?

The default naming option that can be used for technologies that do not allow application naming is the environment variable. This approach is beneficial for naming applications in cases where the application itself does not provide a straightforward method for specifying its name.

Using environment variables extracts configuration details from the environment in which the application runs, allowing for easier management and consistency across different instances and deployments. This is particularly useful for cloud-native applications or microservices, where environment variables are commonly employed for configuration purposes. By leveraging environment variables, Dynatrace can effectively identify and differentiate services, even in scenarios where traditional naming conventions may not be applicable.

This method helps enhance visibility and traceability within the monitoring solution without being reliant on specific application-level configurations that may not exist.
