What should be the focus when defining application rules in Dynatrace?

Focusing on high traffic applications when defining application rules in Dynatrace is crucial because these applications have the largest impact on user experience and business outcomes. By prioritizing high traffic applications, organizations can ensure that the monitoring and performance tuning efforts are directed where they are needed most, allowing for quicker identification and resolution of issues that may affect a significant number of users. This strategic approach not only enhances the reliability of critical applications but also optimizes resource allocation by addressing the most prominent sources of traffic and potential problems first.

In contrast, prioritizing generic rules or adding more rules indiscriminately can lead to complexity without necessarily improving performance insights. Using a random order for processing does not align with strategic prioritization and could result in missed opportunities for optimization in applications that matter most to the business.
