To prevent Dynatrace from automatically discovering new log files on a monitored host, which setting should be configured?

• A. AutoDetectLogs = false
• B. AppLogDetection = off
• C. NoAutoDiscovery = true
• D. AppLogAutoDetection = false

Answer: (D)

To prevent Dynatrace from automatically discovering new log files on a monitored host, configuring the setting “AppLogAutoDetection = false” effectively disables the log file detection feature. By setting this parameter to false, you explicitly instruct Dynatrace not to scan for and automatically include any new log files that may appear on the monitored host. This is particularly useful in environments where you have specific log files that you want to monitor consistently without interference from new, unwanted log file discovery. The other options may imply changes to log detection settings but do not specifically reflect the actual parameter used within Dynatrace for controlling log auto-detection. Thus, they do not provide the correct mechanism needed to stop the automatic discovery of log files.
