When the same process runs in two different host groups, what does Dynatrace do?

When the same process runs in two different host groups, Dynatrace creates separate process groups for each host group. This approach allows for detailed monitoring tailored to the specific characteristics and performance metrics of each host group. By treating processes separately, Dynatrace can provide insights into the performance and resource usage uniquely associated with each environment. This is particularly advantageous for applications that may behave differently depending on the underlying infrastructure or configuration of the host group.

The distinction in process groups ensures that monitoring data is accurate and contextually relevant, which can greatly enhance troubleshooting and optimization efforts. Each instance can then be analyzed independently, leading to a better understanding of how the application performs in different scenarios.
