Is there a way to deep link to a given entity with its entityId?

jmiller8 — Sun, 04 Aug 2024 19:09:53 GMT

I'm building an external report and I'm looking for a way to deep link back to a given entity in that report. Given the tenant url, entityId, displayName, and anything else discoverable from the monitored entity api; is there any way to accomplish a link back to the entity's page in Dynatrace?

For example, given a tenant of `abc12345` and an entityId of `AWS_LAMBDA_FUNCTION-323B5EDE4B1C8C0A` recreate, or at least land on, the url:

`abc12345.apps.dynatrace.com/ui/apps/dynatrace.classic.aws/#awses/awsdetails;id=AWS_CREDENTIALS-7953F56288CFE627;section=LAMBDAS;entityId=AWS_LAMBDA_FUNCTION-323B5EDE4B1C8C0A`

Hi,

I think URL can change depending which entity is (host, process group...). Maybe you can try to call Monitored entities API - GET an entity if you already know entity ID.

Best regards

@jmiller8 Sure there is! By entity ID. By entityName it's not directly possible as it might not be unique.

<YOUR_DYNATRACE_ENVIRONMENT_URL>/ui/nav/<ENTITY_ID>
