Hi!
Our organization has recently started using DynaTrace, and we are still figuring out the best way on how to organize our site paths. I know that we can create multple applications that pertain to different paths of our site, however I wonder if this is the best solution as I dont want to start creating too many applications,
This is more of a general question, and I would like to learn more on what is considered best practice for site grouping within dynatrace.
Here is an example we have in mind:
E-Commerce (High Priority)
E-Commerce
Admin – Customer Service (High Priority)
Admin – Schools
Admin – Products
Admin – Designs
Admin – Marketing
Admin – Other
Production (High Priority)
Production
Production – Producer (High Priority)
External Shops (High Priority)
Partner (High Priority)
Partner
Each of these are represented by a url path
E-Commerce (High Priority) = /checkout/confirm
E-commerce = /cart
e.g.
If we have some general examples, that could help to.
-Thanks!

The "anything?" worked
So - I wouldnt split up Admin in different applications - unless you really have different application owners for it. Here I would rather use Business Transactions to split up the individual "Business Transactions / Features" within the application. The same is true for the other applications. We allow you to create Business Transactions by e.g: splitting on the URL. Here is a very rough way how I would organize your system
App: Ecommerce
App: Admin
Makes sense?

Something you may want to look into is how many shared services these applications use, if there is some services that arn't shared they should be in their own system profile. Other than that an application is a distinction you make in your profile a logical grouping for your users to use.
