What is the purpose of the "DISABLE_SYSTEM_LOGS_ACCESS" parameter in Dynatrace OneAgent installations?

The "DISABLE_SYSTEM_LOGS_ACCESS" parameter in Dynatrace OneAgent installations is specifically designed to prevent system log capturing altogether. By enabling this parameter, administrators can ensure that the OneAgent does not collect or forward any system logs from the monitored environment to Dynatrace. This can be particularly useful in scenarios where data privacy or security policies require that certain logs not be accessed or transmitted, thus helping to protect sensitive information.

The focus of this parameter is clear: it directly addresses the control over log data visibility and accessibility. When this parameter is active, it effectively stops the OneAgent from performing any logging functions related to system logs, which is crucial for maintaining compliance in sensitive environments. This targeted limitation on log access can help organizations manage their logging practices in line with regulatory and internal security requirements.
