Hi,

Kindly let me know how to use entity selector to filter only by host name, currently below API is working but need to add entity selector with host name,

Hi Sivesh,

Check the entity parameter to specify the host/hosts, full list of host parameters can be found here https://www.dynatrace.com/support/help/shortlink/api-hosts-get-all#parameters

I'd recommend implementing a robust tagging strategy then filtering by tag, it's much more flexible than filtering by the static host ID. Your future self will thank you 🙂

type("HOST"),tag(app:myapplication)
