Extract of hosts - max 3 days.

[nbaratti]

I'm trying to extract data of all host, in order to get EntityId, and some other values, to use API to post some data.
But i'm only get info for host up to 72hours.
If I change "startTimestamp" to begining of December 2018, following line appears:
"The selected timeframe exceeds the allowed limit of 3 days."

- Do you know if there is a way to extract all data of host, and not only the last 72hs monitored asset?
Thanks a lot.

That is not possible by one query - as that would expose a vulnerability to overload Dynatrace service when extracting large portion of data.

See this topic as a workaround: https://answers.dynatrace.com/spaces/483/dynatrace-product-ideas/idea/199493/rfe-extending-the-inact...

You simply have to use the startTimestamp and endTimestamp to select a historic timeframe and you will get all entities and relationships that were active and seen at that point of time.

You only have to make sure that between start and endTimeframe there is not more than 3 days to not explode the result set.
