Dear,
I'm a new user, I want to post a custom metric to Dynatrace via API but I got some problems so need your help:
- Firstly, I post a custom timeseries as the following: https://xxxxx.live.dynatrace.com/api-doc/index.jsp#/Timeseries/createCustomTimeseries
*timeseriesIdentifier: custom:phitestmachine
Body:
{
"displayName": "PhiTestMachine",
"types": ["F5-Firewall"]
}
Response:
{
"timeseriesId": "custom:phitestmachine",
"displayName": "PhiTestMachine",
"dimensions": [
"CUSTOM_DEVICE"
],
"unit": "Count (count)",
"detailedSource": "API",
"types": [
"F5-Firewall"
],
"aggregationTypes": [
"AVG",
"SUM",
"MIN",
"MAX"
],
"filter": "CUSTOM"
}
- Next I create a custom device as the following: https://www.dynatrace.com/support/help/dynatrace-a...
entityAlias: PhiTestMachine
Body:
{
"displayName" : "F5 Firewall 24",
"ipAddresses" : ["172.16.115.211"],
"listenPorts" : ["9999"],
"type" : "F5-Firewall",
"favicon" : "http://assets.dynatrace.com/global/icons/f5.png",
"configUrl" : "http://192.128.0.1:8080",
"tags": [
"REST example"
],
"properties" : {
"Sample Property 1": "Sample value 1"
}
}
Response:
CUSTOM_DEVICE-75AB78865A2AF396
- Now I post a custom metric device as the following: https://www.dynatrace.com/support/help/dynatrace-a...
entityAlias: PhiTestMachine
Body:
{
"tags": [
"tag2"
],
"type": "F5-Firewall",
"properties" : {
"Sample Property 2": "Sample value 2"
},
"series" : [
{
"timeseriesId" : "custom:phitestmachine",
"dimensions" : {
"CUSTOM_DEVICE" : "macbook pro"
},
"dataPoints" : [
[ 1539860400000, 460 ],
[ 1539860460000, 456 ]
]
},
{
"timeseriesId" : "custom:phitestmachine",
"dimensions" : {
"CUSTOM_DEVICE" : "macbook pro"
},
"dataPoints" : [
[ 1539860430000, 439 ],
[ 1539860490000, 460 ]
]
}
]
}
Response:
{
"error": {
"code": 400,
"message": "Constraints violated.",
"constraintViolations": [
{
"path": "series[0].dimensions",
"message": "Dimensions don't match dimensions specified in configuration. No extra dimensions specified in configuration.",
"parameterLocation": "PAYLOAD_BODY",
"location": null
}
]
}
}
So I'm not sure what is the dimensions specified in configuration? The custom metric I post at the beginning returned object has dimensions key is " CUSTOM_DEVICE". Could you help me to have a look at this.
Thanks
