Web application configuration API - POST a web application

Creates a new web application.

This API only supports web applications (including agentless applications and browser extensions). For mobile apps and custom applications, see Mobile and custom app API.

Starting with Dynatrace version 1.272, it isn't possible to create an AMP application, and we will discontinue support for AMP application monitoring sometime in the future.

The request consumes and produces an application/json payload.
