Fetch problems based on host tag.

My managemnet zone has 9 environmnets. I would like to segregate them based on a host tag that I defined on the host.

Hello @ushaghosh,
Dynatrace Managed doesn't use DQL, as the Grail technology is available for customers using Dynatrace SaaS. I'll move your question to the Managed forum, as maybe someone there will be able to help solve your use case.

you will need an entity selector like this one

type("SERVICE"),fromRelationships.runsOnHost(type(HOST),tag("[Azure]tenant:CustomerA"))

(you can try it out on the monitored entities api endpoint)

Or you can directly use it on a metric line:

builtin:service.response.client :filter( in("dt.entity.service",entitySelector( "type(SERVICE),fromRelationships.runsOnHost(type(HOST),tag(~"[Azure]tenant:CustomerA~"))" )) ) :splitBy("dt.entity.service"):sort(value(auto,descending)):limit(20)
