Hello guys,

you can use the curl call below to track host units (this requires jq tool in linux)

Have a nice day.

Hi,

You can use also this built metric for that _ **dsfm:billing.hostunit.connected** _.

JSON

```markup
curl -X GET "https://{ENV_ID}.live.dynatrace.com/api/v2/metrics/query?metricSelector=(dsfm:billing.hostunit.connected:splitBy():sort(value(auto,descending))):names&from=-2h&to=now&resolution=Inf" -H "accept: application/json" -H "Authorization: Api-Token XXXX-XXXX"

```

CSV

```markup
curl -X GET "https://{ENV_ID}.live.dynatrace.com/api/v2/metrics/query?metricSelector=(dsfm:billing.hostunit.connected:splitBy():sort(value(auto,descending))):names&from=-2h&to=now&resolution=Inf" -H "accept: text/csv, application/json; q=0.1" -H "Authorization: Api-Token XXXX-XXXX"

```

Best regards
