Which practice should be avoided regarding the My web application placeholder?

Renaming the "My web application" placeholder is discouraged because it is vital for maintaining clarity and consistency when managing applications within Dynatrace. This placeholder serves as a predefined label that helps users quickly identify and monitor their web applications effectively. Altering its name can lead to confusion, especially in collaborative environments, where multiple team members may rely on uniform terminology for streamlined communication and shared understanding.

In contrast, utilizing the placeholder for broader domain monitoring can be an innovative way to expand the application’s oversight, and excluding user actions can serve particular scenarios where you may want to focus on backend performance without user-related metrics. Moreover, assigning specific team ownership to applications helps in accountability and management, ensuring that the relevant team is responsible for monitoring and maintaining the application’s performance. These practices enhance the overall efficiency and effectiveness of application monitoring rather than detracting from it.
