Hi Team, My ENV have 10000+ host, While I worked on only 1000 host, all are windows and linux full stack in prod and infra in non-prod. Automated tags are already added. Now I want to add the manual tag to each server for Region A, B, C, D and then make a dashboard for Region A, B, C, D’s Hosts Data. How Can i do this what is the best way??? I have tried to add the tags from Deployment status → modify tag-\> Region=A etc. But this is not working in Data explorer, not getting each host data where I have used these tags. How Can i now remove those tags and add new tags, so I get the best results?? ---

Hello [@Adi\_10](https://community.dynatrace.com/user/81707) I seek to comprehend the importance of manual tagging. In a large-scale environment, the most effective strategy is to implement auto tagging. Have a look at the Custom tags API documentation. > **[Custom tags API](https://docs.dynatrace.com/managed/dynatrace-api/environment-api/custom-tags)** > > Manage custom tags of the monitored entities via the Dynatrace API.
