Extension activation tag

In Extensions 2.0, there is a field that references "Extension activation tag".

The documentation has some references about it, but it is still not clear what it does, to me. Has someone used it?

Do you mean this feature where it's possible to limit the OA activation by tag?

@Mike_L,

I was referencing in the configuration, in this case for the "Generic network device":

The string in that field is automatically added as the dimension 'activation.tag' to each metric from the configuration. Then you can use it for filtering in the data explorer for example.

It's up to each extension developer to add such filters, so it'll not exist on all extensions.

@Mike_L,

Thanks for the clarification! Thought it would be something along that 😉 Being able to tag measurements/monitoring configurations is a great feature!
