When are application detection rules processed in Dynatrace?

Application detection rules in Dynatrace are processed in sequence for each request. This sequential processing ensures that every incoming request is evaluated against the defined rules one at a time, allowing Dynatrace to accurately identify and classify the request based on the rules that are applicable.

This manner of processing allows for a thorough and detailed assessment of each request, which is crucial for ensuring that the monitoring and data collection reflect the true performance and behavior of the application. By processing rules in sequence, Dynatrace can apply complex logic that may depend on various conditions specified in the detection rules, ultimately leading to more refined insights and metrics related to application performance.

The other options don't correctly represent the nature of how Dynatrace handles application detection rules; for instance, simultaneous processing would not allow for the nuanced evaluations that sequential processing provides. Similarly, only processing rules when applications are idle would not be practical, as it would mean missing critical data during active use. Triggered processing might suggest rules apply only under certain conditions, which does not align with the ongoing request evaluation necessary for consistent monitoring.
