Host properties and tags can't be set through the web UI

AntonPineiro — Thu, 20 Apr 2023 07:48:03 GMT

Hi,

I was reading OneAgent release notes 1.263 and it says "Previously, host properties and host tags could only be set on the host locally using oneagentctl tool. Now, host properties and host tags can be set through the web UI and sent to OneAgent on the host, where OneAgent writes them to the host configuration."

Do you know how to configure host properties using user interface?

Thank you in advance!

Hi Anton!

I can't find it either. I looked in the Deployment Status page where you can change the host group and network zone settings, but didn't find anything. I also verified the host configuration page:)

Hi,

Thank you for your reply. I had followed same as you and finally, post it here.

I am not sure if a minimum SaaS / Managed version is required.

Best regards

I have Dynatrace version 1.264 (SaaS), but I'm thinking that it might be available from version 1.266.

Unless we can't find which is also possible 😂

Hi @AntonPineiro,

same here, I can't find it but I think once it will be available it will be as @radek_jasinski mentioned from the deployment status in the section related to the remote configuration option

Hi all! Sorry about the documentation issue here. We'll get that fixed! The feature unfortunately slipped to 268, but the good news is that it is indeed coming!

@lucas_hocker is this 268 version specific to the cluster version or oneagent? The oa versions seem to increment by 2s with the version being odd numbers whereas the cluster version (saas) increments by 1. Just wanting to confirm if we need a specific oneagent version for this. We plan to upgrade our agents soon and I want to be sure to capture the required version oa if there is one.

I believe it should just be cluster 268. I believe the errant release notes mention above were about the agent side back in 263.
