What is the main purpose of automated tagging in Dynatrace?

Automated tagging in Dynatrace primarily serves to streamline the organization and management of entities within the monitoring environment. By automatically applying tags based on predefined criteria, it allows users to categorize and group similar entities, such as services, applications, or cloud resources, improving visibility and governance over the monitored components.

This capability enhances the ability to filter, search, and report on particular sets of data, which is essential for large and complex environments. With proper tagging, teams can more easily manage and correlate performance metrics, incidents, and application dependencies. As a result, automated tagging significantly contributes to operational efficiency and aids in maintaining a clear structure within the monitoring platform, facilitating better decision-making based on tailored insights.
