Download configuration
This feature lets you download the configuration from a Dynatrace tenant as Monaco files. Use this feature to avoid starting from scratch when using Monaco.
⚠️ This feature requires CLI version 2.0.
Download configurations
- Enable CLI 2.0 by adding an environment variable called NEW_CLI with a non-empty value other than 0.
export NEW_CLI=1
- Create an environment file.
- Run monaco using the download command
monaco download --environments=my-environment.yaml
Options
To download specific APIs only, use --specific-api to pass a list of API values separated by a comma.
monaco download --specific-api alerting-profile,dashboard --environments=my-environment.yaml
Skipped configurations
Some configurations on Dynatrace are predefined and must not be downloaded and reuploaded on the same, or another environment.
Those skipped configurations are:
| API | Details |
|---|---|
dashboard/dashboard-v2 | Dashboards that have the owner Dynatrace set, or dashboards, which are a preset |
anomaly-detection-metrics | Configurations that start with dynatrace. or ruxit. |
synthetic-locations | public (Dynatrace provided) locations |
extension | Extensions with an id that starts with custom. |
Notes
⚠️ Application Detection Rules. When using download functionality, you can only update existing application detection rules. You can only create a new app detection rule if no other app detection rules exist for that application.
