    <description>&lt;DIV class="lia-message-template-content-zone"&gt;
&lt;H2 id="abstract"&gt;Abstract&lt;/H2&gt;
&lt;P data-unlink="true"&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;This article will explain how to understand the information available in the "Monitored entities health self-monitoring" dashboard and the effects that long rule processing times can have on the environment.&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;H2 id="dashboard-content"&gt;Dashboard content&lt;/H2&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;In the dashboard the following set of metrics is available&lt;/SPAN&gt;:&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;UL&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;CODE&gt;dsfm:server.monitored_entities.tagging.tagging_worker_runtime&lt;/CODE&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;Provides runtime for rule processing split by worker type and feature&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;CODE&gt;dsfm:server.monitored_entities.tagging.tagging_worker_top_slowest_rules&lt;/CODE&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;Provides runtime for the top 100 slowest rules executed in the environment&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;CODE&gt;dsfm:server.management_zones.active_configs&lt;/CODE&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;Provides count of configured Management Zones&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;CODE&gt;dsfm:server.management_zones.queries_counter&lt;/CODE&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;Provides information about the count of queries that poll Management Zones in the environment.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;CODE&gt;dsfm:server.automatically_applied_tags.active_configs&lt;/CODE&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;Provides count of configured tags&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;/UL&gt;
&lt;H2 id="health-assessment"&gt;Health assessment&lt;/H2&gt;
&lt;H4&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/H4&gt;
&lt;H4&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;Processing time&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/H4&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;Starting at the top of the dashboard we have first a section using the runtime metric in different visual representations&lt;/SPAN&gt;:&lt;SPAN&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper lia-image-align-inline" image-alt="dawid_rampalski_0-1734686105159.png" style="width: 400px;"&gt;&lt;img src="https://community.dynatrace.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/25376i86B0A7A69E96532C/image-size/medium?v=v2&amp;amp;px=400" role="button" title="dawid_rampalski_0-1734686105159.png" alt="dawid_rampalski_0-1734686105159.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;Those charts represent the total amount of time it takes our worker to process all the Management Zone/Tagging/Naming rules in your environment.&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;UL&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;The worker is running in back to back mode and starts as soon as the previous run finished.&lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;Metric is published as soon as the processing time is known. The larger the processing time the larger the gap between datapoints.&lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;Nested rules are not applied recursively with every run - if your Management Zone depends on a tag that depends on another tag, it can take multiple runs to apply it to your entity&lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;/UL&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;Splitting by&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;CODE&gt;dt.tagging_runtime.feature&lt;/CODE&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;allows to find out how long each of the Management Zone/Tagging/Naming takes to process.&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;Splitting by&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;CODE&gt;dt.tagging_runtime.type&lt;/CODE&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;allows to find out how long each of our default/fastlane workers takes to process the rules.&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;H4&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/H4&gt;
&lt;H4&gt;Slowest rules&lt;/H4&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;Next is our section about top slowest rule execution times.&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;This section helps to understand potential outliers of your configuration.&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper lia-image-align-inline" image-alt="dawid_rampalski_1-1734686157228.png" style="width: 400px;"&gt;&lt;img src="https://community.dynatrace.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/25377i13F67D720311EC3D/image-size/medium?v=v2&amp;amp;px=400" role="button" title="dawid_rampalski_1-1734686157228.png" alt="dawid_rampalski_1-1734686157228.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;The provided charts present both the slowest rules on average in your selected timeframe and per execution assigned to specific point in time.&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;Splitting by&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;CODE&gt;dt.tagging_rule.name&lt;/CODE&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;allows to find out which rule is responsible for processing in given time.&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;Splitting by&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;CODE&gt;dt.tagging_rule.feature&lt;/CODE&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;allows to find out what kind of configuration is responsible&lt;/SPAN&gt;(&lt;SPAN&gt;Naming,&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;Management Zones,&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;Tagging&lt;/SPAN&gt;)&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;For example here we can see that the slowest rules are&lt;/SPAN&gt;:&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper lia-image-align-inline" image-alt="dawid_rampalski_2-1734686189850.png" style="width: 400px;"&gt;&lt;img src="https://community.dynatrace.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/25378i415AA8A44ED278B9/image-size/medium?v=v2&amp;amp;px=400" role="button" title="dawid_rampalski_2-1734686189850.png" alt="dawid_rampalski_2-1734686189850.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;UL&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;[Kubernetes]namespace&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;Tagging rule with index 0 (first on the list) that is tagging Process groups&lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;Cloud: AWS&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;Management Zone rule with index 9 that is matching Services&lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;/UL&gt;
&lt;H4&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/H4&gt;
&lt;H4&gt;Config usage&lt;/H4&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;The last section of the dashboard is dedicated to understanding the amount of configured rules for Management Zones and&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;Tagging with addition of a chart providing information on how many times given Management Zone was queried.&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper lia-image-align-inline" image-alt="dawid_rampalski_3-1734686231846.png" style="width: 400px;"&gt;&lt;img src="https://community.dynatrace.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/25379iD70C92D961FCE9AF/image-size/medium?v=v2&amp;amp;px=400" role="button" title="dawid_rampalski_3-1734686231846.png" alt="dawid_rampalski_3-1734686231846.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;Currently Tag query usage is not available.&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;Management zone query count can be useful to determine which configurations are not used by users and can be deleted to&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;reduce processing time.&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;H2 id="what-is-the-impact"&gt;What is the impact?&lt;/H2&gt;
&lt;UL&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;The longer the worker runtimes are the longer an entity will potentially have to wait until Tag, Management Zone or Name is attached to it.&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;Long processing times can lead to intermediate states where entity is expected in Management Zone according to rules but does not belong there yet at given point in time&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;Searches that use entity metadata for filtering will not return expected entities when in this intermediate state - if it does not have a Tag then searching for a Tag will not find it&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;Events/Problems will not inherit metadata that does not exist on impacted entities&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;Alerting profiles might not match in this intermediate state and as a result notifications might not be sent to the relevant teams&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;Maintenance windows might not attach based on non-existing metadata&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;/UL&gt;
&lt;H2&gt;Resolution&lt;/H2&gt;
&lt;P&gt;As mentioned previously:&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;BLOCKQUOTE&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;The worker is running in back to back mode and starts as soon as the previous run finished.&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;/BLOCKQUOTE&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Dynatrace is already doing all it can to make this process as fast as we possibly can. If you notice long processing runtimes in your environment please consult this best practices guide:&amp;nbsp;&lt;A href="https://docs.dynatrace.com/docs/shortlink/tagging-at-scale" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;https://docs.dynatrace.com/docs/shortlink/tagging-at-scale&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;We also recommend to review your Management Zone usage with&amp;nbsp;&lt;CODE&gt;dsfm:server.management_zones.queries_counter&lt;/CODE&gt;&amp;nbsp;all and delete all unnecessary/not-used configurations.&lt;/P&gt;

      <title>Assessing Tagging, Management Zone and Naming rule performance and effects of slow matching</title>
      <link>https://community.dynatrace.com/t5/Troubleshooting/Assessing-Tagging-Management-Zone-and-Naming-rule-performance/ta-p/265781</link>
      <description>&lt;DIV class="lia-message-template-content-zone"&gt;
&lt;H2 id="abstract"&gt;Abstract&lt;/H2&gt;
&lt;P data-unlink="true"&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;This article will explain how to understand the information available in the "Monitored entities health self-monitoring" dashboard and the effects that long rule processing times can have on the environment.&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;H2 id="dashboard-content"&gt;Dashboard content&lt;/H2&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;In the dashboard the following set of metrics is available&lt;/SPAN&gt;:&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;UL&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;CODE&gt;dsfm:server.monitored_entities.tagging.tagging_worker_runtime&lt;/CODE&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;Provides runtime for rule processing split by worker type and feature&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;CODE&gt;dsfm:server.monitored_entities.tagging.tagging_worker_top_slowest_rules&lt;/CODE&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;Provides runtime for the top 100 slowest rules executed in the environment&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;CODE&gt;dsfm:server.management_zones.active_configs&lt;/CODE&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;Provides count of configured Management Zones&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;CODE&gt;dsfm:server.management_zones.queries_counter&lt;/CODE&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;Provides information about the count of queries that poll Management Zones in the environment.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;CODE&gt;dsfm:server.automatically_applied_tags.active_configs&lt;/CODE&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;Provides count of configured tags&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;/UL&gt;
&lt;H2 id="health-assessment"&gt;Health assessment&lt;/H2&gt;
&lt;H4&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/H4&gt;
&lt;H4&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;Processing time&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/H4&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;Starting at the top of the dashboard we have first a section using the runtime metric in different visual representations&lt;/SPAN&gt;:&lt;SPAN&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper lia-image-align-inline" image-alt="dawid_rampalski_0-1734686105159.png" style="width: 400px;"&gt;&lt;img src="https://community.dynatrace.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/25376i86B0A7A69E96532C/image-size/medium?v=v2&amp;amp;px=400" role="button" title="dawid_rampalski_0-1734686105159.png" alt="dawid_rampalski_0-1734686105159.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;Those charts represent the total amount of time it takes our worker to process all the Management Zone/Tagging/Naming rules in your environment.&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;UL&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;The worker is running in back to back mode and starts as soon as the previous run finished.&lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;Metric is published as soon as the processing time is known. The larger the processing time the larger the gap between datapoints.&lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;Nested rules are not applied recursively with every run - if your Management Zone depends on a tag that depends on another tag, it can take multiple runs to apply it to your entity&lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;/UL&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;Splitting by&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;CODE&gt;dt.tagging_runtime.feature&lt;/CODE&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;allows to find out how long each of the Management Zone/Tagging/Naming takes to process.&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;Splitting by&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;CODE&gt;dt.tagging_runtime.type&lt;/CODE&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;allows to find out how long each of our default/fastlane workers takes to process the rules.&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;H4&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/H4&gt;
&lt;H4&gt;Slowest rules&lt;/H4&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;Next is our section about top slowest rule execution times.&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;This section helps to understand potential outliers of your configuration.&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper lia-image-align-inline" image-alt="dawid_rampalski_1-1734686157228.png" style="width: 400px;"&gt;&lt;img src="https://community.dynatrace.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/25377i13F67D720311EC3D/image-size/medium?v=v2&amp;amp;px=400" role="button" title="dawid_rampalski_1-1734686157228.png" alt="dawid_rampalski_1-1734686157228.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;The provided charts present both the slowest rules on average in your selected timeframe and per execution assigned to specific point in time.&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;Splitting by&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;CODE&gt;dt.tagging_rule.name&lt;/CODE&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;allows to find out which rule is responsible for processing in given time.&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;Splitting by&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;CODE&gt;dt.tagging_rule.feature&lt;/CODE&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;allows to find out what kind of configuration is responsible&lt;/SPAN&gt;(&lt;SPAN&gt;Naming,&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;Management Zones,&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;Tagging&lt;/SPAN&gt;)&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;For example here we can see that the slowest rules are&lt;/SPAN&gt;:&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper lia-image-align-inline" image-alt="dawid_rampalski_2-1734686189850.png" style="width: 400px;"&gt;&lt;img src="https://community.dynatrace.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/25378i415AA8A44ED278B9/image-size/medium?v=v2&amp;amp;px=400" role="button" title="dawid_rampalski_2-1734686189850.png" alt="dawid_rampalski_2-1734686189850.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;UL&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;[Kubernetes]namespace&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;Tagging rule with index 0 (first on the list) that is tagging Process groups&lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;Cloud: AWS&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;Management Zone rule with index 9 that is matching Services&lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;/UL&gt;
&lt;H4&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/H4&gt;
&lt;H4&gt;Config usage&lt;/H4&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;The last section of the dashboard is dedicated to understanding the amount of configured rules for Management Zones and&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;Tagging with addition of a chart providing information on how many times given Management Zone was queried.&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper lia-image-align-inline" image-alt="dawid_rampalski_3-1734686231846.png" style="width: 400px;"&gt;&lt;img src="https://community.dynatrace.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/25379iD70C92D961FCE9AF/image-size/medium?v=v2&amp;amp;px=400" role="button" title="dawid_rampalski_3-1734686231846.png" alt="dawid_rampalski_3-1734686231846.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;Currently Tag query usage is not available.&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;Management zone query count can be useful to determine which configurations are not used by users and can be deleted to&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;reduce processing time.&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;H2 id="what-is-the-impact"&gt;What is the impact?&lt;/H2&gt;
&lt;UL&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;The longer the worker runtimes are the longer an entity will potentially have to wait until Tag, Management Zone or Name is attached to it.&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;Long processing times can lead to intermediate states where entity is expected in Management Zone according to rules but does not belong there yet at given point in time&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;Searches that use entity metadata for filtering will not return expected entities when in this intermediate state - if it does not have a Tag then searching for a Tag will not find it&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;Events/Problems will not inherit metadata that does not exist on impacted entities&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;Alerting profiles might not match in this intermediate state and as a result notifications might not be sent to the relevant teams&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;Maintenance windows might not attach based on non-existing metadata&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;/UL&gt;
&lt;H2&gt;Resolution&lt;/H2&gt;
&lt;P&gt;As mentioned previously:&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;BLOCKQUOTE&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;The worker is running in back to back mode and starts as soon as the previous run finished.&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;/BLOCKQUOTE&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Dynatrace is already doing all it can to make this process as fast as we possibly can. If you notice long processing runtimes in your environment please consult this best practices guide:&amp;nbsp;&lt;A href="https://docs.dynatrace.com/docs/shortlink/tagging-at-scale" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;https://docs.dynatrace.com/docs/shortlink/tagging-at-scale&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;We also recommend to review your Management Zone usage with&amp;nbsp;&lt;CODE&gt;dsfm:server.management_zones.queries_counter&lt;/CODE&gt;&amp;nbsp;all and delete all unnecessary/not-used configurations.&lt;/P&gt;

      <description>&lt;P&gt;It is a Preset dashboard and should be available in every environment that has a supported Dynatrace version.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper lia-image-align-inline" image-alt="dawid_rampalski_0-1734698520687.png" style="width: 400px;"&gt;&lt;img src="https://community.dynatrace.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/25389iB78C83AFE6C6F033/image-size/medium?v=v2&amp;amp;px=400" role="button" title="dawid_rampalski_0-1734698520687.png" alt="dawid_rampalski_0-1734698520687.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
