Custom metadata for AWS Lambda on Dynatrace

[vinnu_arige_moe]

Hello folks,

we are implementing Dynatrae on AWS services and trying to figure out on how to get custom metadata on Lambda functions.

I tried adding custom prop into Lambda environment variables

DT_CUSTOM_PROP= AWS_ACCOUNT=<Aws-acocunt-name>

We were not able to see this in the Lambda properties and also tried adding same through AWS tags and could see it. I did not see any correlation on how to use aws tags into dt auto tagging.

We are mainly want to do this for our management zones.

thanks

Vinnu

Dynatrace can and will ingest tags as they exist on the AWS instances. You can also make internal Dynatrace tags via Auto tag rules or manual tag rules. For the auto tagging, you'll need to use the entity selector.

Hi @ChadTurner , 

Does this mean, we have to set DT_CUSTOM_PROP as tags for lambda function instead of environment variables.

Thanks in advance
