What does the AppLogAutoDetection option do when enabled?

The AppLogAutoDetection option, when enabled, allows files on the host to be automatically detected by the system. This feature significantly streamlines the process of monitoring application logs, as it eliminates the need for manual identification and configuration of log files. By automatically detecting log files, Dynatrace can easily integrate log data into its monitoring solution, enhancing its ability to provide insights into application performance and troubleshooting.

This capability is particularly beneficial for dynamic environments where log file locations and names may change frequently, ensuring that the observability of an application remains intact without requiring constant manual updates or configurations.
