API call impact on SaaS service

[suresh230591]

Hi,

As I know we can call an API once in 6 seconds. What sort of effect that have on services running. If our call taking 5 seconds to complete ,will the SaaS service be degraded.

Please explain a little more what you mean.

Our API calls are not influencing our other SaaS service, they run in a separate thread pool.

Thanks Wolfgang, I thought while pulling the data they will affect the other services running.

Do we have any restrictions on amount of data we can pull.

What information {problemDetail} parameter in webhook is going to give us.

Can we add extra field in Custom JSON payload which is not in document in webhook or API

please advice

There is a throttling limit of 10/requests per minute that will be raised to 50requests/min within the next sprints. There is no data limit applied. All your API requests share the same threadpool, which means if you trigger a huge request all your other API requests will be delayed.

The {ProblemDetails} placeholder returns the human readable details of the problem in HTML. Its the same content that is also sent out by email.

The same kind of detail I will be getting through {ProblemDetails} placeholder.( please confirm)

Is it possible to add extra field or placeholder in JSON payload or in API other than given in document.

Thanks Wolfgang for your quick response.

I will appreciate if you give a quick comment on below mention statement.

Is it possible to add extra field or placeholder in JSON payload or in API other than given in document?

[wolfgang_beer]

The JSON payload within the WebHook push notification is completely customizable, which means you can add any custom JSON attribute. In terms of placeholder that Dynatrace automatically fills, its the list that is documented within the UI.

Low disk space

Disk '/' has low disk space

there seems to be {eventTypes} in the description, in this case Low Disk Space. Are these accessible outside the {ProblemDetails} if not what is the structure of {ProblemDetails}?

cheers.
