An Instana operator needs to filter the Infrastructure Map to display only hosts located in the AWS us-east-1 availability zone that also have the custom tag team:backend applied. Which Dynamic Focus Query correctly applies both conditions simultaneously?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation and Infographic
Instana's Dynamic Focus Query language uses entity.* prefixes to filter infrastructure entities displayed on the map. entity.zone filters by availability zone name and entity.tag filters by custom tags applied to entities. Values containing colons or special characters must be enclosed in double quotes, and multiple conditions are combined using AND or OR keywords.

Full Explanation
Instana's Dynamic Focus Query language uses entity.* prefixes to filter infrastructure entities displayed on the map. entity.zone filters by availability zone name and entity.tag filters by custom tags applied to entities. Values containing colons or special characters must be enclosed in double quotes, and multiple conditions are combined using AND or OR keywords. This is the standard query format for infrastructure map filtering. The correct answer is 'entity.zone:"us-east-1" AND entity.tag:"team:backend"'. The incorrect options — 'zone:us-east-1 AND label:team:backend', 'aws.region=us-east-1 AND host.tag=team:backend', 'host.cloud=aws AND host.region=us-east-1 AND custom.tag=team:backend' — are wrong because they do not align with IBM Instana's architecture or recommended practices for this scenario. Understanding this concept is essential for the Domain 2: Configuration domain of the IBM Instana Observability certification.
