Fetching availability % for all possible types of technology and processes available in Dynatrace using Dynatrace API

[sagnikdasgupta]

Hi , 

I wanted to know, for which of the technologies other than synthetics does Dynatrace API supports pulling the % availability ... As of now we are only doing it for synthetics but we want to expand to Processes groups, services , rums , hosts , dockers , dbs etc....

Basically any entity in which you see the availability metric. SO Hosts, Processes, synthetics etc.. 

You'll use the API Metrics query selector to grab the values of the availability over your defined time intervals.

Thank you so much Chad , can you please provide me with some sample queries for % availability for monitors 

[ChadTurner]

Queries will be unique to your use case. My recommendation is to try it out and use the data explorer for the metric values. 

Than you'll add in further filtering criteria per your use case.

Hi @ChadTurner ,

In the same subject if you please can help for a specific case, 

I am looking for PROCESS AVAILABILITY % , and not PROCESS GROUP AVAILABILITY % 

I did not found it on the data explorer , is there any thing that I am missing ? 

thanks in advance

@Mahdi24322  from the Data Explorer you'll want to search for 'Availability' and select the one that is for the Process Instances. (Cluster Version: 1.274.121.20230901-111004). Notice entity type is in fact the 'Process_Group_Instance'. Once selected you can filter and sort via the instance desired. 

This can also be extended to the API via metrics. I hope this helps, let me know if you need anything additional.
