Migrating historical data between dynatrace tenants

[JhonU]

Hello everyone, in the organization we are migrating to a new tenant, the need arose to migrate historical data from the previous tenant to the new one, such as neologic metrics and indicators such as SLO.
I would like to know if I can do this in some simple way or if I must necessarily use the Dynatrace API, thanks.

This is not possible and you can migrate configuration only, not historical data. A workaround - you can establish a remote environment connection (see docs) and have the historical displayed on a classic dashboard from the old environment. Generally, metrics data can be written only with a timestamp of 1 hour in the past, so that pretty much limits migration of any historical data.

Thank you for your reply, however, I am not able to connect to the previous environment because it will soon be decommissioned. The idea is to be able to have historical data that we do have in the current tenant and migrate them as data points of a specific time frame, for example a piece of data that represents the value obtained in a month. This is for business purposes, I have even thought of ingesting them as a business event using grail and dql.

Ingesting it as business events is a clever idea if it fits your use case. Just it won't be the same representation - if you are for example converting existing metrics to business events with the metric values.
