Dashboard tip: Combine DQL with a REST call in one Dashboard

henk_stobbe — Fri, 05 Dec 2025 10:55:27 GMT

Hello,

As an example I have created a Dashboard that retrieves all host names from Dynatrace, using the current time selector. And based on these results asks ServiceNow to return the ID's based on the that name.

Maybe it can give someone some inspiration (-;

Source will be in the reply, you need to add ServiceNow url and token, I love comments and remarks,
