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

  1. Enable CLI 2.0 by adding an environment variable called NEW_CLI with a non-empty value other than 0.
export NEW_CLI=1
  1. Create an environment file.
  2. 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:

APIDetails
dashboard/dashboard-v2Dashboards that have the owner Dynatrace set, or dashboards, which are a preset
anomaly-detection-metricsConfigurations that start with dynatrace. or ruxit.
synthetic-locationspublic (Dynatrace provided) locations
extensionExtensions 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.
