Which processing steps has Dynatrace introduced to facilitate the use of placeholders?

The processing steps introduced by Dynatrace to facilitate the use of placeholders are centered around the concepts of extract and replace. This means that Dynatrace provides functionality to extract specific values from monitoring data or transactions and then replace them with placeholders within configuration or scripts. This capability allows for dynamic data insertion, enhancing the flexibility and adaptability of monitoring setups in various environments.

The extract step involves identifying and capturing relevant data points that may change over time, such as user IDs, session IDs, or other key metrics. The replace step enables the use of these dynamically extracted values in dashboards, alerts, or other monitoring configurations, making it easier to tailor the monitoring experience to specific needs or conditions without manual adjustments each time there's a change in data patterns.

This approach streamlines the process of managing dynamic data within the Dynatrace environment, allowing users to implement more sophisticated monitoring strategies that can automatically adjust to varying operational contexts. It helps ensure that monitoring remains relevant and actionable as applications and their data evolve.
