Team,
Has anybody else seen that Dynatrace started monitoring UNC shares and alerting on it? I looked through release notes and have not found anything (could have missed). Our Product Specialist noticed this also started for another customer he is supporting at same time as it did for me. Started around mid June.
I know how to filter out Unc shares by disk: \\* but just curious why Dynatrace started doing this. This hurting other people?
From DT Chat: now that you have mentioned it, one of my other customers had the same thing happening too.
Solved! Go to Solution.

From support:
Based on feedback from our lab, this was the timeline of changes, and indeed some changes would have affected your cluster version:
We hope this helps explain the situation. Going forward, if you do not want to have network drives monitoring, we can disable it by setting a debug flag. Alternatively, you can update OneAgent to a newer 1.267/1.271/1.273/1.275 version that just sets it by default. Please let us know which route you'd prefer to take, and if there are any questions.

You can ask Dynatrace support to set below option globally. This approach worked for us.
'debugEnableWindowsNetworkDriveMonitoring' to false
I was told there would be fix available in oneagent version 1.285 so that user can do this themselves at host level

Hi Srikanth
debugEnableWindowsNetworkDriveMonitoring' to false - where we need to do this. Could you please share steps how to set this parameter to false

@sundarv1 - Hi, you can Dynatrace product support via a ticket to set this at the tenant level.
OR
1. You can add regex in disk exclusion filter. (Settings --> Preferences --> Disk options) for windows OS.
2. At the alerting profile, you can filter it using description filter. In my case, I've used one like below as a safety net measure (until product support enabled the flag)
Custom: Description not contains 'The total available space on filesystem or disk \\'

1. You can add regex in disk exclusion filter. (Settings --> Preferences --> Disk options) for windows OS. - What we need to set here?

Disk or Mount path = \\*
