Update oneagent by tag

Nathanieltat — Wed, 19 Mar 2025 08:02:40 GMT

Im wondering if there is a way to update the oneagent but spit them out via tags, we have specific update windows for different regions and each host has a Location (Auto)*Region* and we want to link the update window to the tags and have them update via that window.

Hi,

It is not possible. You can see all options here.

You can raise a product idea.

Best regards

My solution was to do it via host groups. They were renamed into groups but this caused a separate issue where dynatrace reimported all the services again.

Using host groups will impact your process groups and services. Alternatively, you could do this using the monitored entities query API using type HOST and a tag filter to get a list of host ids. You can then loop through the list using the OneAgent update API to trigger an upgrade with a payload like this:

{
  "setting":"INHERITED",
  "version":"1.245.174.20220808-121330"
}

Using a setting of INHERITED turns this into a one time upgrade to the version specified.
