Monaco to download many environments

Franck — Wed, 24 May 2023 09:43:10 GMT

Hi all
With Monaco 1.x we were downloading many environments with a single command-line.
Now, with Monaco 2.0, I can see the "-e" flag is mandatory in the command-line, thus we can download only a single environment at a time. I have to repeat the command for each environment in the manifest file.
Do you have a solution to download many environments at a time ?

Thanks
Franck

Hi,

You can create a environments.yaml with your all your environments:

env1: - name: "env1" - env-url: "https://{environmentid}.live.dynatrace.com" - env-token-name: "ENV1_API_TOKEN" env2: - name: "env2" - env-url: "https://{environmentid}.live.dynatrace.com" - env-token-name: "ENV2_API_TOKEN"

Then, you can download configuration using "monaco download -e environments.yaml".

Or only some specific environment using "monaco download -e environments.yaml -s env1".

You have more details/combinations here.

Best regards

I don't agree. This syntax applies only for Monaco 1.x but not Monaco 2.x.

I need the same for Monaco 2.x

It seems not possible according to docs https://www.dynatrace.com/support/help/shortlink/configuration-as-code-commands#download.

You have to write script which executes download against each env in manifest file separately.

Hi @Franck,

I have just re-read it and @rastislav_danis is right.

I understand now you want to make a bulk download for all environments configured. That is not possible using a single command using Monaco v2.

I normally make a loop for all environments in a shell script or powershell executing "monaco download --environment "env1" --output-folder "env1"...

Best regards
