Manage service tracing across hosts with Single Step Instrumentation rules

Datadog’s Single Step Instrumentation (SSI) offers automatic service discovery for easy APM setup, but it can capture unnecessary workloads like batch jobs that increase noise and costs. To address this, instrumentation rules allow teams to selectively control which Linux and Windows processes are traced based on specific attributes like process name or runtime. These rules can be managed centrally via Remote Configuration, enabling efficient, code-free adjustments across an entire fleet.
