How to post deployment event for particular host?

Naveen — Tue, 22 Nov 2022 15:48:08 GMT

Hi I want to post deployment events with some information for particular host (i.e. HOST A), could someone explain how to do that via API.

I am using https://www.dynatrace.com/support/help/dynatrace-api/environment-api/events-v2/post-event

It's not mentioned where and how to pass host information.

You filter which entities an event should apply to via the entitySelector field where you enter an entity selector.

You could pass a single entityId or conditions that will match only that host.

There's a sample payload in the "Push deployment events from Jenkins" section of the documentation

https://www.dynatrace.com/support/help/shortlink/api-deployment-jenkins

{
"eventType": "CUSTOM_DEPLOYMENT",
"attachRules": {
"tagRule": {
"meTypes": "PROCESS_GROUP_INSTANCE",
"tags": "Dev"
}
},
"deploymentName": "${JOB_NAME}",
"deploymentVersion": "1.1",
"deploymentProject": "CustomBankingService",
"remediationAction": "http://revertMe",
"ciBackLink": "${BUILD_URL}",
"source": "Jenkins",
"customProperties": {
"Jenkins Build Number": "${BUILD_ID}",
"Git commit": "${GIT_COMMIT}"
}
}

Will we be able to inject the missing master data (machines , services), in case it doesn't exists
