Hi I am trying to automate the enable/disable Process Group on all hosts using Override Defaults in Dynatrace but I am unable to find any PUT API for this, please let me know if any available or any other way to automate it.

You can try following payload and send it to “/api/v2/settings/objects”

```markup
[
    {
        "schemaVersion": "1.0.7",
        "schemaId": "builtin:declarativegrouping",
        "scope": "environment",
        "value": {
            "enabled": true,
            "name": "MY TEST",
            "detection": [
                {
                    "id": "MY TEST",
                    "processGroupName": "Some PG Name",
                    "rules": [
                        {
                            "property": "executablePath",
                            "condition": "$eq(/path/to/exec)"
                        }
                    ]
                }
            ]
        }
    }
]

```
