What is the purpose of the command that sets custom host metadata?

The command that sets custom host metadata is designed primarily to define specific properties related to the host. This functionality allows users to enrich the host's information within Dynatrace by adding details such as business-critical roles, geographical location, or application ownership. By customizing this metadata, organizations enhance the contextual understanding of their infrastructure, enabling better monitoring and analysis.

This enriched metadata can be leveraged in various ways, such as filtering, alerting, and reporting within the Dynatrace platform, providing teams with valuable insights into their applications and environment. The ability to tailor host properties ensures that the monitoring solution aligns more closely with the specific operational needs and business objectives of an organization.
