Query “Dynatrace z/OS module version” for CICS regions via DQL

[Kajao]

We have multiple CICS regions monitored on z/OS. In the Dynatrace UI (Hosts classic → Process → Properties & tags), each CICS region shows the property “Dynatrace z/OS module version” (for example, 1.300.0). For upgrade validation, we need a table of CICS region name vs. z/OS module version, but I can’t find a way to query this value via DQL.

Is “Dynatrace z/OS module version” exposed to DQL or Dynatrace APIs? If so, how can it be queried across all CICS regions?

Hi @Kajao , good day.

This may not be the most efficient way, but does the job:

fetch dt.entity.process_group_instance
| filter processType == "IBM_CICS_REGION"
| fieldsadd metadata
| expand metadata
| filter contains(metadata, "Z_CM_VERSION")
| parse metadata, "'Z_CM_VERSION' ':' String:zOSmoduleversion"
| fields entity.name, zOSmoduleversion

Try and let us know.

Regards.
