dynatrace api External Synthetic Tests - return 403

[Yosi_Neuman]

Hi guys

Trying to run: curl -X POST "https://xxxxxxx.live.dynatrace.com/api/v1/synthetic/ext/tests?Api-Token=yyyyyyy" -H "accept: application/json; charset=utf-8" -H "Content-Type: application/json; charset=utf-8" -d "{ \"syntheticEngineName\": \"HarelRobo1\", \"messageTimestamp\": 1539426879000, \"locations\": [ { \"id\": \"1\", \"name\": \"1st type test\" } ], \"tests\": [ { \"id\": \"1\", \"title\": \"first test\", \"description\": \"testing if its works\", \"testSetup\": \"no setup\", \"expirationTimestamp\": 1539426879000, \"drilldownLink\": \"string\", \"editLink\": \"string\", \"enabled\": true, \"deleted\": false, \"locations\": [ { \"id\": \"string\", \"enabled\": true } ], \"steps\": [ { \"id\": 0, \"title\": \"string\" } ], \"noDataTimeout\": 0, \"scheduleIntervalInSeconds\": 0 } ], \"testResults\": [ { \"id\": \"1\", \"totalStepCount\": 1, \"locationResults\": [ { \"id\": \"1\", \"startTimestamp\": 1539426879000, \"success\": true, \"responseTimeMillis\": 234, \"stepResults\": [ { \"id\": 1, \"startTimestamp\": 1539426879000, \"responseTimeMillis\": 456, \"error\": { \"message\": \"string\", \"code\": 0 } } ], \"successRate\": 0 } ] } ]}"

returns:

{"error":{"code":403,"message":"Token is missing required scope. Use one of: ExternalSyntheticIntegration"}}

While all the switch's for this token are on

Any explanation what are we doing wrong here? is it because this API is in EAP?

Yes that's because this API is in EAP stage right now. Please request to take part in that EAP and we will enable that feature flag for your environment, which will then also show the additional token scopes that are necessary.

Hi @Philipp K

We have a requirement to send external synthetic tests into dynatrace. Can you please let us know how can we succeed in sending data to dynatrace for all the synthetic tests .

Thanks,
