Monitor releases with Dynatrace

[YuvalKonstanti]

Hey,

We want to be able to see the status or events we had on each deployment, I know that Dynatrace can provide this service like in the link below:

https://www.dynatrace.com/support/help/how-to-use-dynatrace/release-monitoring/monitor-releases-with...

Can someone here advise how can we get this feature?

Also, if there is a better way to receive what we are looking for, I would be happy to hear.

Thanks!

Hi @YuvalKonstanti 

you basically have a few options to leverage the releases feature:

• envionrment variables that you can provide to your processes/application code
• custom deployment events that you push to your environment (e.g. through your CI/CD pipeline)

Both variants are described here:

I have implemented this feature nicely in our environment and all API worked perfect to push the right version on each process deployed. I am currently integrating it with our deployment pipelines.

I share this API call to help you, you need to create an ingest token and a tag to precise your process groups

              The JSON that I used  in this example:

{

  "eventType": "CUSTOM_DEPLOYMENT",

  "title": "PerfServlet Release",

  "entitySelector": "type(PROCESS_GROUP_INSTANCE),tag(Application-Functionality:PerfServlet)",

  "properties": {

    "dt.event.deployment.name":"PerfServlet",

    "dt.event.deployment.version": "8.5",

    "dt.event.deployment.release_stage": "PROD" ,

    "dt.event.deployment.release_product": "perfServlet",

    "dt.event.deployment.release_build_version": "5",

    " dt.event.deployment.project": "IBM"

  }

}
