Cannot access timeseries data via REST API getting error: {"error":{"code":400,"message":"The timeframe is missing."}}

eric_schwartz — Tue, 25 May 2021 13:50:27 GMT

I am trying to access time series data using Powershell:

$Uri = "https://<my_tenant>.live.dynatrace.com/api/v1/timeseries?timeseriesId=com.dynatrace.builtin:host.availability?relativeTime=hour?queryMode=total?aggregationType=avg"

$headers = @{}

$headers.Add("Authorization", "<my tenant token")

$headers.Add("Content-Type", "application/json")

$headers.Add("Method", "POST")

Invoke-RestMethod -Headers $headers $Uri

I get this error: Invoke-RestMethod : {"error":{"code":400,"message":"The timeframe is missing."}}

I know it isn't an authorization issue since I can get other API URLs to work such as: "https://<my_tenant>.live.dynatrace.com/api/v1/entity/infrastructure/hosts"

and "https://<my_tenant>.live.dynatrace.com/api/v1/timeseries" without any parameters.

timeframe is also obviously in the URL :relativeTime=hour

(I have tried week and day also with the same error)

Thanks,

Eric

You have question marks between your parameters, I think you want ampersands '&'. Like this:

https:// . live.dynatrace.com/api/v1/timeseries?timeseriesId=com.dynatrace.builtin:host.availability&relativeTime=hour&queryMode=total&aggregationType=avg

Can refer to examples here:

@James K.

I got the same error when I changed the '?' to '&'.

I also tried providing startTimestap and endTimestamp instead of relativeTime, still received the same error.

Hey Eric,

The metric you are looking at does not accept the aggregation parameter. See the doc on that. Please take that out and let me know if it works for you.

Thanks

NJ,

I got it to work by moving all of the needed URL parameters to a $Body variable and including that in the method Invocation: Invoke-RestMethod -Headers $headers $Uri -Body $Body

I was still getting the same error of ,"The timeframe is missing." after I removed the aggregation and mode parameters. Thank you for the advice, it sent me down the right path to get it to work.
