By default, Single Step Instrumentation automatically instruments all your application processes with Datadog APM. Targeting rules give you full control over this behavior by allowing you to define which processes should be instrumented or skipped.
Fine-tune APM rollout: Choose whether to instrument all processes by default or selectively include or exclude specific ones.
Reduce noise: Focus only on the workloads that matter most to your team.
These rules can be configured directly from the Datadog UI and applied to all relevant hosts where you want APM, or managed manually as a configuration file on disk. You can read more about targeting rules on Linux in the Single Step Instrumentation on Linux Docs.
If you’re running applications in Kubernetes, read more about Single Step Instrumentation and targeting rules in the Single Step Instrumentation on Kubernetes.
To qualify for this Preview, you should already be using (or plan to use) Datadog Application Performance Monitoring (APM).
