You have deployed new /already have few standalone .NET exe processes that are shown in Dynatrace UI , but wondering why services are not getting auto-detected for them. What should be done about it ?
Here, you are running into the default behaviour for .NET where only w3wp (IIS) processes are instrumented automatically. In other words , Dynatrace doesn't automatically perform deep monitoring on all .NET processes as there are many arbitrary processes that rely on these processes.
More details on this can be found at https://www.dynatrace.com/support/help/platform-modules/infrastructure-monitoring/process-groups/con...
So, first sugggestion would be to configure custom service detection rule , which will help to list the expected service.This can be esaily set up using the details mentioned in this link https://www.dynatrace.com/support/help/platform-modules/applications-and-microservices/services/serv...
If Custom Service creation rules are not making any improvements, I would recommend to try utilising the Dynatrace .NET one agent SDK https://github.com/Dynatrace/OneAgent-SDK-for-dotnet

If still desired services are not getting reflected , please do reach out to Dynatrace Technical support with relevant details
Thanks !
