What is automatic service detection in Dynatrace? -
Answer-The process where Dynatrace automatically
detects deployed applications and microservices based on
specific properties like application identifier, URL, or server
name. These detected attributes are marked with an
asterisk (✱) on the service overview page under
Properties and tags.
In what circumstances would you need to create service
detection rules? - Answer-When the quality of data
available to Dynatrace is insufficient for high-precision
service detection, requiring tailored detection rules to
better match your environment's needs.
How are detection rules evaluated in Dynatrace? -
Answer-Detection rules are evaluated from top to bottom,
and the first matching rule applies, so rule positioning in
the list is critical.

What are the prerequisites for configuring rule-based
service detection via the Settings API? - Answer-An
access token with Read settings (settings.read) and Write
settings (settings.write) scopes.
What happens to original services when you define a new
detection rule? - Answer-Depending on the configuration,
original services might get less traffic or no traffic at all,
with new monitoring data redirected according to the rule
configuration.
What are the minimum parameters required to identify a
service when creating a detection rule? - Answer-At least
one of the following must be turned on: Application
identifier, URL context root, or Server name.
What happens to historical data when you modify a
service detection rule? - Answer-Historical data remains
available only for the previous service, while all newly
captured data is associated with the new standalone
service.
What happens if you delete a service detection rule? -
Answer-All individual services are split and once again
treated as standalone services.

How can you separate fully monitored web request
services when context root is not supported? - Answer-By
imposing a context root on a fully monitored web request,
for example, detecting a service based on specific URL
path segments.
How can you merge application data into a single service
when the incoming data is volatile? - Answer-By using
service detection rules to merge services based on
common attributes, such as application IDs that start with
the same prefix.
How can you separate services for "public network
services" based on URL? - Answer-By creating rules that
transform service IDs based on URL segments when the
top-level domain ends with specific wording.
How can you create different services from the same
domain? - Answer-By instructing Dynatrace to detect
multiple services based on the detected hostname instead
of just the domain name (e.g., separating
support.dynatrace.com and blog.dynatrace.com).
, 4|Page
How can Dynatrace track performance of different IPs as
separate service instances? - Answer-By setting up
detection rules that retain information about multiple IPs in
the detected service, allowing tracking of different IPs as
separate service instances.
How can you remedy web server naming issues where
servers default to "localhost"? - Answer-By using the
environment variable DT_LOCALTOVIRTUALHOSTNAME
to define virtual host names, ensuring multiple physical
hosts report the same virtual host.
How can you define unique application names for
technologies that don't provide them? - Answer-By
defining an environment variable called
DT_APPLICATIONID to provide a unique name, or for
Java applications, using the system property
dynatrace.application.id.
How do you handle rotating or random ports in detection
rules? - Answer-By setting the environment variable
DT_IGNOREDYNAMICPORT=true, which removes the
port from detection and replaces it with *.
What are the four types of request rules you can configure
in service detection? - Answer-Full web request rules, Full
