Kubernetes credentials API - POST new credentials

Creates a new Kubernetes credentials configuration.

The body must not provide an ID. The Dynatrace server automatically assigns an ID.

The request consumes and produces an application/json payload.

POST	Managed	`https://{your-domain}/e/{your-environment-id}/api/config/v1/kubernetes/credentials`
	SaaS	`https://{your-environment-id}.live.dynatrace.com/api/config/v1/kubernetes/credentials`
	Environment ActiveGate	`https://{your-activegate-domain}/e/{your-environment-id}/api/config/v1/kubernetes/credentials`

Authentication

To execute this request, you need an access token with Write configuration (WriteConfig) scope. To learn how to obtain and use it, see Tokens and authentication.

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Description	In	Required
body	KubernetesCredentials	The JSON body of the request. Contains parameters of the new Kubernetes credentials configuration.	body	optional

Request body objects

The `KubernetesCredentials` object

Configuration for specific Kubernetes credentials.

Element	Type	Description	Required
metadata	ConfigurationMetadata	Metadata useful for debugging	optional
id	string	The ID of the given credentials configuration.	optional
active	boolean	The monitoring is enabled (`true`) or disabled (`false`) for given credentials configuration. If not set on creation, the `true` value is used. If the field is omitted during an update, the old value remains unaffected.	optional
endpointStatus	string	The status of the configured endpoint. ASSIGNED: The credentials are assigned to an ActiveGate which is responsible for processing. UNASSIGNED: The credentials are not yet assigned to an ActiveGate so there is currently no processing. DISABLED: The credentials have been disabled by the user. FASTCHECK_AUTH_ERROR: The credentials are invalid. FASTCHECK_TLS_ERROR: The endpoint TLS certificate is invalid. FASTCHECK_NO_RESPONSE: The endpoint did not return a result until the timeout was reached. FASTCHECK_INVALID_ENDPOINT: The endpoint URL was invalid. FASTCHECK_AUTH_LOCKED: The credentials seem to be locked. UNKNOWN: An unknown error occured. The element can hold these values `ASSIGNED` `DISABLED` `FASTCHECK_AUTH_ERROR` `FASTCHECK_AUTH_LOCKED` `FASTCHECK_INVALID_ENDPOINT` `FASTCHECK_LOW_MEMORY_ERROR` `FASTCHECK_NO_RESPONSE` `FASTCHECK_TLS_ERROR` `UNASSIGNED` `UNKNOWN`	optional
endpointStatusInfo	string	The detailed status info of the configured endpoint.	optional
label	string	The name of the Kubernetes credentials configuration. Allowed characters are letters, numbers, whitespaces, and the following characters: `.+-_`. Leading or trailing whitespace is not allowed.	required
endpointUrl	string	The URL of the Kubernetes API server. It must be unique within a Dynatrace environment. The URL must valid according to RFC 2396. Leading or trailing whitespaces are not allowed.	required
authToken	string	The service account bearer token for the Kubernetes API server. Submit your token on creation or update of the configuration. For security reasons, GET requests return this field as `null`. If the field is omitted during an update, the old value remains unaffected.	optional
activeGateGroup	string	Active Gate group to filter active gates for this credentials.	optional
eventsIntegrationEnabled	boolean	The monitoring of events is enabled (`true`) or disabled (`false`) for the Kubernetes cluster. Event monitoring depends on the active state of this configuration to be true. If not set on creation, the `false` value is used. If the field is omitted during an update, the old value remains unaffected.	optional
eventAnalysisAndAlertingEnabled	boolean	[Deprecated] With 1.240 the EA events monitoring has been deprecated and replaced by the events GA version which obsoletes this property. Corresponds to the value of `eventsIntegrationEnabled`. The field is ignored during an update, the old value remains unaffected.	optional
workloadIntegrationEnabled	boolean	Workload and cloud application processing is enabled (`true`) or disabled (`false`) for the Kubernetes cluster. If the field is omitted during an update, the old value remains unaffected.	optional
prometheusExportersIntegrationEnabled	boolean	Prometheus exporters integration is enabled (`true`) or disabled (`false`) for the Kubernetes cluster. If the field is omitted during an update, the old value remains unaffected.	optional
davisEventsIntegrationEnabled	boolean	Inclusion of all Davis relevant events is enabled (`true`) or disabled (`false`) for the Kubernetes cluster. If the field is omitted during an update, the old value remains unaffected.	optional
eventsFieldSelectors	KubernetesEventPattern[]	Kubernetes event filters based on field-selectors. If set to `null` on creation, no events field selectors are subscribed. If set to `null` on update, no change of stored events field selectors is applied. Set an empty list to clear all events field selectors.	optional
certificateCheckEnabled	boolean	The check of SSL certificates is enabled (`true`) or disabled (`false`) for the Kubernetes cluster. If not set on creation, the `true` value is used. If the field is omitted during an update, the old value remains unaffected.	optional

The `ConfigurationMetadata` object

Metadata useful for debugging

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

The `KubernetesEventPattern` object

Represents a single Kubernetes events field selector (=event filter based on the K8s field selector).

Element	Type	Description	Required
label	string	A label of the events field selector.	required
fieldSelector	string	The field selector string (url decoding is applied) when storing it.	required
active	boolean	Whether subscription to this events field selector is enabled (value set to `true`). If disabled (value set to `false`), Dynatrace will stop fetching events from the Kubernetes API for this events field selector	required
