topic Get PID for a running process using REST API in Dynatrace API

Get PID for a running process using REST API

Adarsh3312 — Fri, 01 Mar 2024 07:13:11 GMT

I am trying to get PID for a running process from Dynatrace. I am using Environment API and giving "PROCESS_GROUP_INSTANCE" as entity type.

This API do not sends PID for the process. Can some one help in finding a correct REST endpoint which will return PID for a running process.

Thanks,

Hi,

I think that is not reachable via API, but not sure 100%.

Can you please suggest how I can pull this data from process instance snapshots which contains PID, PPID command line etc for all the processes.

Hi,

I do not see an out-the-box solution if you want that information outside Dynatrace.

Maybe re-searching if those metrics are available in Grail. Are you in a SaaS Grail enabled tenant?

Best regards

Yes We do have Grail enabled tenant but we also want to support a non-grail tenant. We support log monitoring for both of the tenants type.

Hi,

I do not see a way to get it from Managed. I someone does not provide you an answer, you can raise a product idea.

Best regards
