Locate problem via API Rest

[alban_denizot]

Hi,

Is it possible to catch the geolocasition of a problem via the API ? Let me explain: Throughout Dynatrace we know if a problem affects a host, service or process. Imagine a problem affects a host I suppose we can geolocate the host and corrolate with the problem.

Is it possible to get this info via API Rest ?

Hope I was clear 🙂

It's not possible. Dynatrace can assign host to detected datacenter. This datacenter can have location configured, but there is no API interface for reading datacenter data from host I think.

Another option would be adding properties to hosts or tags that will allow you read location from them. You can use for this tag detection rules:

or you can use environment variables:
