Command Line Interface (CLI) For Automating Administration Tasks
Hello,
This may be an RFE if it doesn't already exist.
My question it simple: is there a CLI for dynaTrace that can help automate some of my daily tasks?
I am already aware of the RESTful interface, however it does not have many administration functions that can modify a System Profile.
For example, right now I have 20 system profiles, and our standards have changed which requires me to update 30 measures per system profile.
Even if each measure creation/update takes me 30 seconds I am looking at 5 solid hours of just changing measures.
If I had a CLI I could execute a simple command such as:
for each SystemProfile:
addMeasure(name="My Excellent Measure", type="Web Request Time", upperSevereThreshold="1500ms")
addMeasure(etc...)
changeMeasure(name="My Old Stale Measure", upperSeverThreshold="1500ms")
etc...
I am also aware that you can copy and paste measures, but that is still somewhat cumbersome, and limits the kind of automation and scripting that I have in mind. This System Profile example is simply one example.
Hi David
There is a command line tool that comes with the default product install: Command Line Tool
Adding measures is however currently not supported through any of our automation interfaces. If you have a list of new REST/Automation Interface capabilities besides those you mentioned above please let us know. We can move this forum post to the RFE section and you can add your additional examples to your original text or add as a comment. That will help engineering understand the use cases that are currently missing
Thanks
