Downloading Configuration

This feature allows you to download the configuration from a Dynatrace tenant as Monaco files. You can use this feature to avoid starting from scratch when using Monaco. For this feature you will have to enable CLI version 2.0.

Steps​

  1. Enable CLI version 2.0 by adding an environment variable called NEW_CLI with a non-empty value other than 0.
shell

$ export NEW_CLI=1

  1. Create an environment file.
  2. Run monaco using the download command i.e.
shell

$ monaco download --environments=my-environment.yaml

Options​

Instead of downloading all the configurations for all the APIs you can pass a list of API values separated by comma using the following flag --downloadSpecificAPI.

shell

$ monaco download --downloadSpecificAPI alerting-profile,dashboard --environments=my-environment.yaml

Notes​

You should take into consideration the following limitations of the current process.

Application Detection Rules:​

When using download functionality you will only be able to update existing application detection rules. If you want to create a new app detection rule you can only do so if there are no other app detection rules for that application.
