How is a Dynatrace SaaS environment uniquely identified?

A Dynatrace SaaS environment is uniquely identified by a universal resource locator (URL) pattern. Each Dynatrace environment is assigned a specific URL that allows users to access it. This URL not only ensures that users can connect to their designated environment but also differentiates it from other environments within Dynatrace. The URL serves as a unique identifier that eliminates confusion, especially in scenarios where multiple environments may exist, such as staging, production, or testing environments.

While elements like geographical location, subscription level, and number of users could play a role in describing or categorizing an environment, they do not serve as unique identifiers. For instance, multiple environments could exist in the same geographical location under similar subscription levels and could have different numbers of users, further emphasizing the importance of the URL pattern as the definitive means of identification.
