Can a Dynatrace-instrumented app report the environment variables set for the app context through Dynatrace?

Hi,

Can you provide more details? I cannot understand your question.

Anyway, you can [define tags based on environment variables](https://docs.dynatrace.com/docs/manage/tags-and-metadata/setup/define-tags-based-on-environment-variables).

Best regards.

Best regards
