How do I get a specific maintenance window via the API?

grogers — Tue, 25 May 2021 11:51:43 GMT

When I try to get a specific Maintenance Window, I get no results from the API. Getting all MWs works fine, but I want to get a specific one.

I tried this and saw the same behavior. I'll update once I can find if this is an error in what we're sending or if it is a bug in the API.

So on further investigation, I can get specific MWs that are created via the API, but not via the UI.

Hm interesting - yeah the ones I tried to get were from the UI as well.

Did you try to access it by using the UUID that is generated by Dynatrace?

No, I don't see a way to get that UUID, it's not exposed in the UI or the API when getting all Maintenance Windows.

Did you ever figure out a way to get the individual details or UUID? I'm having the same issue.

It appears that the API will return entries created in the API, but not those that are entered in the UI. I haven't seen the ability to get MWs by UUID.

Is there any plan to have this functionality working ? I don't see much sense on having it working only for MW created by API.

Please use the /api/v1/config API. It exposes all the maintenance windows and represents the newer and advanced endpoint for all configurations. We will announce the deprecation of the old maintenance window endpoint soon.
