We are integrating jenkins and Dynatrace before deployment we want check health of the particular host for last 2hrs or 30 mins etc. How can we use Dynatrace API to achieve this?

You can fetch all host related metrics including availability timeseries through our Dynatrace timeseries API. See help page here:

Yes. you can get the same.

• Get the specific host entity ID from

/api/v1/entity/infrastructure/hosts?Api-Token=token

• Pass the entity ID to any timeseries metrics. Below one is for "host availability percent"

/api/v1/timeseries?api-token=token timeseriesId=com.dynatrace.builtin:host.availability.percent&relativeTime=month&queryMode=total&entity=<entityID>
