Tagging process and services in AWS

JAR1 — Tue, 13 Jun 2023 14:57:03 GMT

Hello all,

is there a way to propagate the kubernetes node labels imported from AWS, to the underlying processes/services?

Does anyone have any recommendations, best practices on the AWS side?

I have tried several things (automatic rules in DT), but I can't do it

Thanks in advance,

JAR

I have the same problem and as far as I know, the only way to have AWS labels propagated in Dynatrace is to create a set of automatic tags equivalent to those in AWS where, based on AWS labels, a new automatic tag is created in Dynatrace for all the related elements including nodes, processes and services.

In my case in AWS I have labels for environment with assigned values and the only way I have found to propagate the values is:

create an automatic tag named Environment
for each element type (host, process, etc.) create a rule filtering by the different Environment values (dev, pre, pro) and assigning the same value as in the AWS label

Finally i did it applying this rule:

(it seems that it is automatic)

Thanks
