Creating your own data tables in Grail

Hello all,

To make it simple, you can not create your own tables in Grail, these are all defined by Dynatrace like a kind of templates. What you can do is play with buckets and access rules....

Am I correct?

Hello @henk_stobbe,

Could you provide more details about your use case for creating your own tables in Grail, especially describing your need? We could check then if there is something on the roadmap that could potentially fit your description, but we would need more information.

Hi Macie,

Sorry no specific use case for this topic, in Dutch there is a saying "why nut?" which comes from a popular commercial, so:

maybe the question should have been, why is it not (yet) possible to update with DQL and can tables in the future be created by a customer?

For me this would be a better option then the Document service for apps and workflows.

(Sorry just thinking out load)

For now thank you for your reply, and maybe its better for me to wait for the roadmap and future releases (-;

Thx Henk

Hi @henk_stobbe @MaciejNeumann
One example of I can think of is to use custom tables containing the data you need in lookup operations against data collected by DT. In Splunk for example you can create lookup tables and populte them with data you need. They are static, but can be very useful. I haven't so far found any equivalent of that feature in Dynatrace.
Or was I not looking deep enough?
