Here we explore the prospects of carrying out the single qubit dynamical decoupling spectroscopy of environmental noise characterized by discrete spectral density. We show that the approach to the spectroscopy and spectrum reconstruction has to be adjusted to the resolution of frequency filters produced by the dynamical decoupling pulse sequences. The standard form of spectroscopy is applicable when the filter is unable to resolve discrete spectral lines and only coarse grained approximation of the spectrum is recorded in the qubit's decoherence rate. When the filter's resolution is high enough the qubit probe evolves in a qualitatively different manner and the procedure for recovering spectral density has to be redesigned.
