Hello,

I am new to Dynatrace and its API’s, I am trying to Predict&nbsp; the CPU Usage over the next few days.

Can someone throw light on what are the steps involved in to achieve the same?

Thanks in advance.

I believe you should use this [api](https://www.dynatrace.com/support/help/dynatrace-api/environment-api/metric-v1)&nbsp; and know your prediction, make sure&nbsp;adding the parameter&nbsp;predict=true&nbsp;to this API request will help you get desired results with your timeseries metrics.
