Settings API - Simple detection rules schema table

Simple detection rules (builtin:process-group.simple-detection-rule)

Simple process group detection rules enable you to adapt the default process-group detection logic for deep monitored processes via environment variables or Java system properties. More about custom process-group detection

Note: Detection rules change the composition, makeup, and identity of a process group, not just the name. If you only need to change default name use the naming rules (<your-dynatrace-url>//#settings/pgnamingsettings "Visit Naming rules page") instead.

Process-group detection rules only affect processes that are deep monitored by the Dynatrace OneAgent and require a restart of your processes to affect how processes are identified and grouped.

required
Group identifier
groupIdentifier		text

If Dynatrace detects this property at startup of a process, it will use its value to identify process groups more granular.

required
Instance identifier
instanceIdentifier		text

Use a variable to identify instances within a process group.

The type of variable is the same as selected in 'Property source'.

required
Restrict this rule to specific process types
processType		text

Note: Not all types can be detected at startup.
