Best practices for Monaco and AWS Fargate

byronkmajor — Thu, 27 Nov 2025 12:33:31 GMT

Our organization just recently subscribed to Dynatrace and we're having issues getting the tags set for our docker containers in fargate. One solution that was proposed was to use the host groups as manage environment, but that won't be suitable for our organization.

Another solution that I came across was using the Monaco tool, to add the tags, as a github action. Assuming you're starting fresh and haven't implemented Dynatrace for an organization and want to use the Monaco tool, what recommendations and tips does the community have?

My thoughts on how to start with Monaco:

1.) Read instructions https://dynatrace-oss.github.io/dynatrace-monitoring-as-code/

2.) Review GitHub https://github.com/dynatrace-oss/dynatrace-monitoring-as-code/releases

3.) Spend some money and get time with developers

4.) Review Monaco videos https://www.youtube.com/@dynatrace/search?query=monaco

5.) Wait for Monaco class https://university.dynatrace.com/live-training/training-series/32007?content=registration&page=1&limit=16&order=asc&sort=startTime&name=Monaco&skillLevel=all
