Micrometer.DynatraceMetricsRegistry - Dynatrace always returns 400 error

dpiguestanalyti — Wed, 05 Feb 2020 21:23:35 GMT

I am building a Spring Boot 2.2.1.RELEASE application and using Micrometer, Actuator and DynatraceMetricsRegistry for piping custom metrics, JVM and HTTP metrics into Dynatrace . But this is not working as expected in Dynatrace.

I get the following errors as per the polling interval configured in the application.properties for Dynatrace :

Log Excerpt :

I have created a custom device under the technologies section in Dynatrace and no metrics are getting captured in the dynatrace dashboard. Please help .

My application.properties are :

management.endpoints.web.exposure.include=health,info

Although the below ones are obfuscated they are correct and worked when I tested this using a REST client tool :

management.metrics.export.dynatrace.api-token=XXXXXX
management.metrics.export.dynatrace.uri=https://XXXXXX.live.dynatrace.com
management.metrics.export.dynatrace.device-id=XXXXXX
management.metrics.export.dynatrace.enabled=true
management.metrics.export.dynatrace.group=XXXXXX
management.metrics.export.dynatrace.step=1m

It means that you have already created custom metrics on this ID and you cannot redefine dimensions for it. You should change id of metric, or delete them and recreate again.

I'm having similar issue...We recently received dynatrace custom device details like
api-token and uri

I configured the below properties in spring-boot application.yml file

management:
  metrics:
    export:
      dynatrace:
        api-token: here token provided by the team who created dynatrace custom device 
        device-id: here gave random name
        enabled: true
        uri: here url provided by the team who created dynatrace custom device 
        step: 1m

Also, I have below property configured in application.yml

management
  endpoints:
    web:
      exposure:
        include: 'info,health,metrics,refresh,prometheus'

Hello! I just wanted to let you know - and for future references - that we have published a new version of the micrometer registry for Dynatrace: https://micrometer.io/docs/registry/dynatrace, with simplified deployment and that automatically connecting your Micrometer metrics to the topology.

Documentation: https://www.dynatrace.com/support/help/how-to-use-dynatrace/metrics/metric-ingestion/ingestion-methods/micrometer
