What should be done if you want to group detected services into the same logical service?

The option to create merged services is the correct approach for grouping detected services into the same logical service. Merging services allows for the aggregation of multiple service instances that might share similar functionality or purpose, thereby simplifying the monitoring and management of those services within Dynatrace. This helps stakeholders view and analyze performance metrics collectively rather than dealing with potentially fragmented data from separate but related services.

When services are merged, you gain a unified perspective on metrics, traces, and logs, making it easier to identify issues and performance patterns that span across these services. This configuration becomes particularly useful in microservices architectures, where numerous services operate together to fulfill requests.

The other options do not address the need for logical grouping of services. Resetting the application server would disrupt service processes without affecting service identification in Dynatrace. Changing the database connection relates to database interactions rather than service definitions. Disabling alert features would diminish the ability to monitor and respond to performance issues, rather than organizing services logically. Therefore, creating merged services is the most effective solution in this context.
