The `PropagationSource` object

Defines valid sources of request attributes for conditions or placeholders.

Element	Type	Description
managementZone	string	Use only request attributes from services that belong to this management zone.. Use either this or `serviceTag`
serviceTag	UniversalTag	Use only request attributes from services that have this tag. Use either this or `managementZone`

The `UniversalTag` object

Use only request attributes from services that have this tag. Use either this or managementZone

Element	Type	Description
context	string	The origin of the tag, such as AWS or Cloud Foundry. For custom tags use the `CONTEXTLESS` value. The context is set for tags that are automatically imported by OneAgent (for example, from the AWS console or environment variables). It’s useful for determining the origin of tags when not manually defined, and it also helps to prevent clashes with other existing tags. If the tag is not automatically imported, `CONTEXTLESS` set. The element can hold these values `AWS` `AWS_GENERIC` `AZURE` `CLOUD_FOUNDRY` `CONTEXTLESS` `ENVIRONMENT` `GOOGLE_COMPUTE_ENGINE` `KUBERNETES`
key	string	The key of the tag. For custom tags, put the tag value here. The key allows categorization of multiple tags. It is possible that there are multiple values for a single key which will all be represented as standalone tags. Therefore, the key does not have the semantic of a map key but is more like a key of a key-value tuple. In some cases, for example custom tags, the key represents the actual tag value and the value field is not set – those are called valueless tags.
tagKey	UniversalTagKey	-
value	string	The value of the tag. Not applicable to custom tags. If a tag does have a separate key and value (in the textual representation they are split by the colon ‘:’), this field is set with the actual value. Key-value pairs can occur for automatically imported tags and tags set by rules if extractors are used.

The `UniversalTagKey` object

Element	Type	Description
context	string	- The element can hold these values `AWS` `AWS_GENERIC` `AZURE` `CLOUD_FOUNDRY` `CONTEXTLESS` `ENVIRONMENT` `GOOGLE_COMPUTE_ENGINE` `KUBERNETES`
key	string	-

The `ConfigurationMetadata` object

Metadata useful for debugging

Element	Type	Description
clusterVersion	string	Dynatrace version.
configurationVersions	integer[]	A sorted list of the version numbers of the configuration.
currentConfigurationVersions	string[]	A sorted list of version numbers of the configuration.

The `CalculatedMetricDefinition` object

The definition of a calculated service metric.

Example

In this example, the request inquires about the descriptor of the Top database calls per URL metric, which has the metric key of calc:service.topdbcallsperurl. The metric tracks the number of HTTP calls to databases, where the method is POST. The values of the metric are split by the request name.

The API token is passed in the Authorization header.
