What is the consequence of disabling the deep monitoring feature?

Disabling the deep monitoring feature in Dynatrace will not have any direct negative impact on your application’s performance or functionality. Deep monitoring primarily focuses on gathering detailed telemetry and insights about your application's behavior, dependencies, and performance metrics at a very granular level.

When this feature is turned off, it means that you will not receive this in-depth visibility, but your application will continue to run without any changes or disturbances. This lack of monitoring doesn't alter how the application executes or operates; it simply means that you will not have access to the rich data that deep monitoring provides. This can reduce the ability to diagnose issues or optimize performance, but the application itself remains unaffected in terms of execution or deployment.

In contrast, the other options imply that disabling deep monitoring would either lead to the need for changes through software patches or result in increased resource consumption, which is not the case. Disabling it doesn't necessitate immediate changes or adaptations in how the application runs.
