What is the purpose of the configuration file on Dynatrace OneAgent?

The purpose of the configuration file on Dynatrace OneAgent is primarily to set security options on a host level. This file allows administrators to define various security-related configurations such as specifying allowed hosts, setting up authentication credentials, and managing access controls for the agent in the monitored environment. By successfully configuring these settings, organizations can enhance their security posture and ensure that the OneAgent operates in a secure manner, aligning with their overall security policies and compliance requirements.

While other aspects such as network settings or user permissions might be relevant to overall system configuration and management, they are typically not the primary focus of the configuration file itself. The emphasis on security in this context highlights the importance of safeguarding sensitive data and maintaining a controlled environment for monitoring and performance management through Dynatrace OneAgent.
