Getting Started#

You must have the following to use this hands on demo.

  • A Dynatrace environment (sign up here)
  • A Dynatrace API token (see below)

Dynatrace Details#

Environment ID#

Make a note of your Dynatrace environment ID.

The generic format is:

https://<EnvironmentID>.apps.dynatrace.com

So the environment ID would be abc12345 for this URL:

https://abc12345.apps.dynatrace.com

Environment#

Unsure?

If you are unsure, just use the word live

You may be running in an environment other than live. You can see this by the URL structure.

URL structure Example Environment
https://<EnvironmentID>.apps.dynatrace.com https://abc12345.apps.dynatrace.com live
https://<EnvironmentID>.sprint.dynatracelabs.com https://abc12345.sprint.dynatracelabs.com sprint

Save the info

You should now have 2 pieces of info:

  • Environment ID: abc12345
  • Environment: live

Create API Token#

In Dynatrace:

  • Press ctrl + k. Search for access tokens.
  • Create a new access token with the following permissions:
    • metrics.ingest
    • logs.ingest
    • events.ingest
    • openTelemetryTrace.ingest

Save the info

You should now have 3 pieces of info:

  • Environment ID: abc12345
  • Environment: live
  • Dynatrace API Token: dt0c01.sample.********
