What does excluding disks or network traffic from monitoring help to achieve?

Excluding disks or network traffic from monitoring can significantly enhance the relevance of performance insights provided by monitoring tools like Dynatrace. When certain components are excluded, it allows the focus to be directed toward the most impactful areas of the system that are directly related to application performance.

By filtering out less critical components, such as specific disks or network traffic that do not significantly influence the performance metrics being analyzed, the monitoring system can provide cleaner and more targeted data. This helps in reducing noise in the data, allowing teams to pinpoint issues more effectively and to derive actionable insights. It ensures that the observations are more closely aligned with the aspects of the system that actually affect user experience and application behavior.

The other options may address various operational aspects of monitoring, but they do not capture the essence of how excluding specific elements refines and clarifies the performance insights gained from monitoring efforts.
