REST API on security gateway?

tarjei_utnes — Wed, 26 May 2021 11:50:06 GMT

Is it possible to access the REST API on the Dynatrace Managed server through the security gateway?

Meaning: The Security Gateway acts as a forward proxy for the Managed Cluster?

Yes that's possible. We introduced that to enable customers to set up a publicly accessible security gateway to route the API calls from public internet to the Dynatrace server residing in a cooperate network.

Only from publicly accessible gateways? What If I want to have some of my network devices post metrics? https://www.dynatrace.com/support/help/dynatrace-a... Is that not possible?

And Wolfgang: How do I enable it?

By the way, this is dynatrace managed I am talking about

Yes I understand its DT Managed. I am talking about our Dynatrace REST API that is documented here:

https://www.dynatrace.com/support/help/dynatrace-a...

I am NOT talking about the internal REST API that is used by our UI. The functionality is available out of the box, so you can call the API (don't forget to add the environment ID in the path) through the Gateway. A simple call to check if forwarding works is to request the actual cluster time, which is possible without authentication:

https://<GATEWAY>/e/<ENVIRONMENT>/api/v1/time

Question: Does the API token need to be created on the Public Security Gateway, or on the Environment?
