Dynatrace
Summary
Dynatrace is an observability platform that can provide insights into the following:
- Application performance
- Service discovery
- SLOs
- Dependencies
Setup
In order to connect Cortex to your Dynatrace instance, you’ll need to add an access token and the Dynatrace URL necessary to access your environment depending on whether you employ a managed, SaaS, or Environment ActiveGate version of the service. The configuration is located under Settings → Dynatrace.
The token will need the following scopes: Read entities
and Read SLO
If you do not see the Settings page you're looking for in the sidebar, you likely don't have the proper permissions and need to contact your admin.
Registration
APM
Entity ID
Entities with a type of "SERVICE"
will be discovered and surfaced. When using the Dynatrace portal, service IDs can be found in the URL of a selected service under the id query param. For example, https://{environment-id}.live.dynatrace.com/#newservices/serviceOverview;id={service-id}
x-cortex-apm:
dynatrace:
entityIds:
- mock-service-id-1
- mock-service-id-2
Entity Name
You can also match entities based on matching display names with a regular expression, like:
x-cortex-apm:
dynatrace:
entityNameMatchers:
- "foo.*"
SLOs
Similarly, SLO IDs can be found in the URL of a selected SLO in the Dynatrace portal under the id query param. Navigate to the SLO panel, then click on the Actions
dropdown & View in Data Explorer
to get the correct URL. For example, https://{environment-id}.live.dynatrace.com/ui/data-explorer?gtf=-1w&gf=all&refId={sloId}
x-cortex-slos:
dynatrace:
- id: mock-slo-id-1
- id: mock-slo-id-2
Dependencies
Cortex automatically syncs dependencies from Dynatrace using attributes inherent to each entity.
