Hello,

on our client environment there is need for changing Dynatrace Managed host name. I know that changing IP is really problematic, but what about host name? Is it an issue? I wanted to ask before we try because it’s production monitoring 🙂

You can change the hostname safely as long as DNS will resolve that properly on the client machines.
