Can I use the ‘monaco download’ to only download a specific dashboard ID?

panda — Fri, 22 Dec 2023 11:08:14 GMT

With the command ‘monaco download --manifest manifest.yaml --environment development-environment --api dashboard,’ it can download all dashboards from the target Dynatrace environment. I have a specific dashboard with the ID ‘20103b07-fe23-4811-b514-96d7d177a716.’ Can I use ‘monaco download’ to only download this specific dashboard? I don't want to download all the dashboards.

I didn't see such a function introduced in https://docs.dynatrace.com/docs/manage/configuration-as-code/monaco/reference/commands

Hi,

Maybe with this option:

But I would download all to know object ID. I hope someone can provide a better answer.

Best regards

It seems that the provided solution is for configuring settings, not for API. What I am looking for is the API parameter to specify the UUID using the Monaco download command. Ideally, a command like the following:

monaco download --manifest manifest.yaml --environment development-environment --api dashboard --id '20103b07-fe23-4811-b514-96d7d177a716'

Hi,

Then, I think it is not possible actually. You can create a product idea.

Best regards

You can use https://registry.terraform.io/providers/dynatrace-oss/dynatrace/latest/docs
It is more flexible
You will need CLI or some script like this to add separate files into state:

if TERRAFORM_IMPORT: """Loop for import""" os.environ['DYNATRACE_ENV_URL'] = DYNATRACE_ENV_URL os.environ['DYNATRACE_API_TOKEN'] = DYNATRACE_API_TOKEN os.environ['DYNATRACE_TERRAFORM_BIN'] = DYNATRACE_TERRAFORM_BIN with open(CSV_FILE_NAME, newline='') as csvfile: reader = csv.DictReader(csvfile) for row in reader: print(row['IMPORT_CMD_PATH'], row['RESOURCE_ID']) IMPORT_CMD_PATH = row['IMPORT_CMD_PATH'] RESOURCE_ID = row['RESOURCE_ID'] """import all resources - ignore ignore already imported warning""" try: terraform_import = subprocess.Popen( args=["terraform", "import", IMPORT_CMD_PATH, RESOURCE_ID], cwd=PROJECT_FOLDER) error = terraform_import.communicate() except: Exception(error)
