Settings that cannot be migrated with “Dynatrace-Config-Manager”

I understand that the released “Dynatrace-Config-Manager” is a very powerful migration tool. However, I imagine that there are settings that cannot be migrated with this tool. I'm looking for information about settings that cannot be migrated with this tool.

Hi @Shirai,

It will support all settings supported by the Terraform Provider:
https://registry.terraform.io/providers/dynatrace-oss/dynatrace/latest/docs

- Except for Account level settings and Access tokens

Some settings are not supported by APIs, these settings will not be supported by any tool.
There is no official list, as it keeps changing

Here are ones that I know of:

Web Request Naming rules for Services (Any service > Settings > Request naming rules)
Mobile/Custom application naming rules (Any mobile/custom application > Settings > Naming rules)
Mobile/Custom/Web apps Session and user action properties (Any mobile/custom application > Settings > Session and user action properties)
Global settings --> server-side service monitoring --> Deep monitoring
- has an API endpoint, but it does not cover everything on that page

Honestly, if you are looking to upgrade from Managed to SaaS, I would partner directly with Dynatrace. Open a support ticket with the ask and the should be able to assist you in exporting the current settings/posture of your managed instance and then import it into your newly created SaaS instance.
