# CI association to a dynamic CI Group in Agent Client Collector Log Analytics

When the Agent Client Collector
Log Analytics (ACC-L) application discovers a CI that is not associated to an
application service, the application creates a dynamic CI Group and associates the CI to
it.

A dynamic CI Group is a group of CIs that are organized by attribute, such as the CI type. By
default, Agent Client Collector log policy checks monitor only CIs that are
associated to an application service. The Agent Client Collector
Log Analytics application inspects the CIs that the Agent Client Collector discovers. When it discovers a CI that is not associated to an
application service, the application creates a dynamic CI Group and associates the CI to it.

If the CI is later associated to an actual application service, its association to the dynamic
CI Group is automatically deleted. The baseline for the CI is lost in this process. While the
system is establishing the new baseline, it doesn't issue alerts for the application service to
which the CI is now associated.

You can choose to disable the association of unassociated CIs to a dynamic CI group by changing
the default setting of the relevant system property,
sn_accl.dynamic_service.creation.enabled, to false. The Agent Client Collector
Log Analytics application will then not associate unassociated CIs to dynamic CI
Groups. In this case, logs are not streamed for CIs that are not associated to an application
service.
