How to backup Purepath

owen_chen — Mon, 15 Nov 2021 14:28:45 GMT

I have a client who wants to back up Purepath from time to time, and can query it again if necessary in the future. As far as I know, there is currently no way to back up purepath. Is there any other way can provide me?

Thanks in advance

Owen

There is no way to export PurePath / Transaction data from Dynatrace to analyze later or import again.

Again another very very useful feature that was in AppMon but not provided in OneAgent.

Yes that's definitely a feature that's had it's uses and many of my customers missed it during the migration from appmon.

With Dynatrace Managed, I still believe this can be accomplished by using hierarchical storage for the server level data (those binary files). This storage is partitioned by time and is a good fit for HSM. Then you can pump up the retention time to the limit of your storage (365 days I believe the maximum anyway).

Never tried - but I don't see any reason why this should not work in case you have some sort of HSM.
