Hi!

I have almost 200 applications, every one of them has management zone. Applications are divided by two countries. Do you have any idea to grouping it more efficient? It’s getting harder and harder to look for exact mz.

Best Regards

Paweł

Hi,

I would follow [Best practices for scaling tagging and management-zone rules](https://docs.dynatrace.com/docs/shortlink/tagging-at-scale).

Best regards

i think you can separate them for areas, like. Developers, business, sec and others. i think is way more easy do to this way.

I would suggest a Dynamic MZ if you are trying to do this from the Application.

FWIW here’s a related RFE for allowing to group existing MZ’s:
