Token is missing required scope

mlw53688 — Wed, 04 Mar 2026 20:08:45 GMT

Token is missing required scope. Use one of: metrics.read (Read metrics)

Hello.
I'm testing Dynatrace with Keda.
I created a trial account.

I can't find the option to create a token that has metrics.read to use in the Keda manifest (secret + scaledobject + TriggerAuthentication).

Can you help me?

Hi,

You need to create a token in your Dynatrace tenant:

Be sure you select all permissions need it. Maybe you need more than "metrics.read".

Best regards

Hi,

Are you admin in your tenant? I would open a support case.

Best regards
