Introducing dtmgd: Your Dynatrace Managed environments, one command away

@ivan-gudak

We open-sourced dtmgd, a kubectl-style CLI for Dynatrace Managed (self-hosted). Query problems, entities, events, logs, metrics, SLOs, and security vulnerabilities across one Managed environment, or across every Managed environment you have configured, in a single command. Full feature parity with the Dynatrace Managed MCP Server, and a lighter context footprint for AI agents.
