Top API endpoints for a application

gurugogi — Thu, 02 Jan 2025 07:15:05 GMT

Hi Team,

Please let me know how can we export top API end points from Dynatrace.

When we say Top API end point, it can be request count for that API, if request count on a particular API end point is high whether we can say that is TOP API ?

I can get data from MDA but it lists /health endpoint most of the time, solution I thought is get important endpoints list from app team, mark them as key request, later in MDA filter request count for key requests only.

please let me know what I understood is correct or is there any other way.

Hi @gurugogi ,

This can be achieved using MDA. One way is to mark key requests and then use either data explorer or MDA to view the data. But this is a manual approach, and you may miss some the rare occurring requests.
Another way is to use filters available like "relative-URL", this can help you differentiate and find the API information. Also, you can add "HTTP status" if required.
In addition to, you can create a calculated metrics using MDA and then use data explorer to chart it on a dashboard.
