Hi Walter,

Use shell/powershell script to execute the "oneagentctl" command on remote servers.

Linux or AIX:
./oneagentctl --set-infra-only=true
Windows:
.\oneagentctl.exe --set-infra-only=true

Hello @Walter2

I did not try by myself but you can give it a try. Have a look at the below link for the configuredMonitoringMode

The way to do what you want is using the Settings Objects API

You need to obtain the list of HOST ID's
Then you can invoke the API
{{baseUrl}}/settings/objects?validateOnly=false
If you use validateOnly in true, is a pre check of payload.
In the body you need to pass this JSON like:
[
{
"schemaId": "builtin:host.monitoring",
"value": {
"enabled": true,
"fullStack": false,
"autoInjection": true
},
"schemaVersion": "1",
"scope": "HOST-74B800156D4D1103"
}
]
And that's all the magic, iterate until finished.

What if I have 400 host? How would we accomplish that in one statement?

Hello @HeyEngineer is not posible on only 1 statement, in step 1 you gather all the necessary HOST ID's, with a little scripting you set in 3 what is next to scope as a variable, and FOR EACH HOST ID's in your list, it could be a text file you iterate the API call until finish.

You can use an external tool like POSTMAN and pass a csv or text file with all Host IDs and loop

when you have 1 execution working with postman, very easy to loop.

I also add an idea to add new scopes to the settings objects API. You can vote to be considered by the Dynatrace team.

Hi @Walter2

You can check using ansible or puppet to automate such action to save time, if such tools are available in your organization:
