Ingesting custom metric to custom device

JAR — Wed, 19 Oct 2022 13:22:58 GMT

Hi!!

Is it possible to ingest a custom metric (via API v2) to a customDevice?
I see in the documentation the example to a HOST-id, but not to CustomDevice-id

Hi!

You have a couple of options here:

- You can use that same API v2 ingest endpoint only using a dt.entity.custom_device as the dimension to filter by. That way you can then create a chart in the data explorer that you can filter by custom device.
- There's also a specific endpoint, using a different format, for the reporting of metrics to custom devices: https://www.dynatrace.com/support/help/dynatrace-api/environment-api/topology-and-smartscape/custom-device-api/report-custom-device-metric-via-rest-api

Hi.

Both ways ingest metric, OK.

But I see a difference, API v1 I can see the metrics in the CUSTOMDEVICE infographic.

Example:

And with API v2, not.

Example:

Do you know if this is so? Or should i do something?

Thanks

Were you able to resolve the metric appearing with APIv2?
