Dynatrace APi v2 : Manage monitored entities - Deprecated in SaaS

[Carl_Me]

Hello,

It seems that it's no longer possible to view an entity's properties using the v2 API (/entities) -  see image.

Do you have an example of a DQL query that returns all the properties as the API used to?

We have scripts that make API calls. Will this be deprecated in the near future?

Thanks

Hi,

Properties field is being returned using Monitored entities API - GET entities list.

Best regards

Hi,
Yes — in Dynatrace SaaS the direction is to replace the classic “Monitored entities / Manage monitored entities” API usage with DQL + Smartscape on Grail (and OpenPipeline where applicable). That’s why you see it marked as Deprecated

IMO, u can use DQL to discover which fields/properties exist for an entity type.
Look here:

This returns the available fields you can later add via fieldsAdd.
Then you can fetch entities of a given type and add the properties you need.

Another TRICK and TIPS. If you want “all types” (topology-style):

smartscapeNodes "*"
| limit 100

That’s the “show me nodes regardless of type” approach in Smartscape on Grail.

Her u have links, with u can check:

ANd this what @AntonPineiro send
Monitored entities API - GET entities list.

It's not clear to me how one would replace existing API calls to "api/v2/entities?entitySelector=type..." with "DQL and SmartScape"
