When configuring Dynatrace settings, what is the first step you need to perform?

Selecting the application you want to configure is the essential first step in the Dynatrace configuration process. This action establishes the context within which all subsequent settings and adjustments will be made. By focusing on a specific application, you can tailor performance monitoring, alerts, and resource management to meet the unique needs and challenges associated with that application.

Once the application is selected, the user can proceed to configure various settings relevant to that application, including performance thresholds, permissions, and other resource management options. This structured approach ensures that all configurations are applicable and meaningful, enhancing the effectiveness of monitoring and management tasks within Dynatrace.
