Business event capture

If I activate OneAgent features override in a technology like nginx with the aim of directing the request capture in the environment, but I still need to see the health status of the technology, is this possible?

And what is the difference between these two options?

Hi @carlos_carreno , I assume what you are looking at are the OneAgent features that are set globally for the environment and within the scope of a process group.

So, when you enable OneAgent features at the process group settings, they override the global settings for the same OneAgent feature. The setting at the process group takes precedence over what set globally .

This helps if you want to enable a feature specifically at the process group level instead of setting it environment wide

Hi @carlos_carreno
Complementing the previous answer:

Nginx - Trace/span context enrichment for logs (Opt-in): This is a feature that when enabled, the agent enriches the information in the Logs (Structured and unstructured) with data that allows it to relate the Traces/Span with the logs.

An example of this can be when you analyze a trace and go to the Span log section, if you find the log there, it means that dynatrace had enough to relate it, but if it is not there and you ingest logs, the enrichment can help it relate it.

Nginx modules*: This is a feature that allows dynatrace to capture Web Request information from the modules that are supported by dynatrace.

More information: https://docs.dynatrace.com/docs/shortlink/nginx-binaries

If you want to capture Nginx Web Request traffic, you must have "Nginx modules" enabled.

*Nginx Modules Concept: These are additional components that extend the functionality of the NGINX web server.
Modules can add a variety of features, from security functions to monitoring tools, load balancing, and performance optimization.

I hope it's help =)! 💪
