What must be defined to override auto-detected host names in Dynatrace?

To override auto-detected host names in Dynatrace, defining a naming rule is necessary. Naming rules allow users to specify how they want their hosts to be identified and represented in Dynatrace, ensuring clarity and consistency in naming, especially in environments with multiple hosts or instances. By setting up these rules, users can create a more organized view of their monitored environments, tailoring host names to match organizational standards or specific operational needs.

This capability is essential when the default auto-detected names are not meaningful or do not align with how the organization prefers to track and manage its resources. Naming rules provide the flexibility to address these challenges and maintain a coherent naming strategy across the Dynatrace platform.
