Hello @EBA'A CHI O.,

Here is an example request to capture host CPU idle for every hour in the last day:

https://xxxx.live.dynatrace.com/api/v2/metrics/query?metricSelector=builtin%3Ahost.cpu.idle&resolution=h&from=now-1d%2Fh&entitySelector=type%28HOST%29%2CentityId%28HOST-C98F015DFD9D8A95%29

Keep in mind you will also need your token for this.

Here are some good resources for creating these requests:

https://www.dynatrace.com/support/help/extend-dynatrace/dynatrace-api/environment-api/metric-v2/get-data-points/

Also, if you haven't tried. Go to your tenant and click the user icon. Under "dynatrace API" select "Environment API". This gives you a pretty great interface for creating a simple query.

Let me know if you need more help.

Thanks
