Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Change the IP address of the server
Why it's wrong here
Changing the IP does not change the tag registration.
- ✓
Use a negative tag in the DAG filter (e.g., 'Production' AND NOT 'Exclude')
Why this is correct
Logical operators in the filter allow for precise membership control.
- ✗
Remove the server from the network
Why it's wrong here
This is not a configuration solution.
- ✗
Manually delete the object
Why it's wrong here
Manual deletion conflicts with the dynamic nature of the group.
