API or script to Disable Multiple host

TaylorJae — Fri, 14 Jul 2023 07:40:25 GMT

Hi --- Is there an API or script we can use to Bulk disable Hosts?

Right now, we are disabling each and every hosts via Settings > Monitoring Overview > Hosts > Monitor this host (toggle) menu.

We do sometimes have 50 servers to disable per day and this method cause us man hours in a long time.

Thanks for your advise.

Hi @TaylorJae

I recommend creating a Host Group to group agents: https://www.dynatrace.com/support/help/platform-modules/infrastructure-monitoring/hosts/configuration/organize-your-environment-using-host-groups

You can manage the configuration through the API (disable the agent as well): https://www.dynatrace.com/support/help/shortlink/api-config-oneagent-on-host-group-auto-update-put
