Hosts API - GET all hosts
We have a new version of this API—Entity API v2. Check it out!
Gets the list of all hosts in your Dynatrace environment, along with their parameters.
The full list can be lengthy, so you can narrow it down by specifying filter parameters, like tags. See the Parameters section for more details.
You can additionally limit the output by using the pagination:
- Specify the number of results per page in the pageSize query parameter.
- Then use the cursor from the Next-Page-Key response header in the nextPageKey query parameter to obtain subsequent pages.
The request produces an application/json
payload.
GET | Managed | https://{your-domain}/e/{your-environment-id}/api/v1/entity/infrastructure/hosts |
SaaS | https://{your-environment-id}.live.dynatrace.com/api/v1/entity/infrastructure/hosts | |
Environment ActiveGate | https://{your-activegate-domain}/e/{your-environment-id}/api/v1/entity/infrastructure/hosts |
Authentication
To execute this request, you need an access token with Access problem and event feed, metrics, and topology (DataExport
) scope. To learn how to obtain and use it, see Tokens and authentication.
Parameters
The timeframe is restricted to a maximum period of 3 days.
Parameter | Type | Description | In | Required |
---|---|---|---|---|
startTimestamp | integer | The start timestamp of the requested timeframe, in milliseconds (UTC). If not set, then 72 hours behind from now is used. | query | optional |
endTimestamp | integer | The end timestamp of the requested timeframe, in milliseconds (UTC). If not set, then the current timestamp is used. The timeframe must not exceed 3 days. | query | optional |
relativeTime | string | The relative timeframe, back from now. | query | optional |
tag | string[] | Filters the resulting set of hosts by the specified tag. You can specify several tags in the following format: In case of key-value tags, such as imported AWS or CloudFoundry tags, use the following format: | query | optional |
showMonitoringCandidates | boolean | Includes ( Monitoring candidates are network entities that are detected but not monitored. | query | optional |
entity | string[] | Filters result to the specified hosts only. To specify several hosts use the following format: | query | optional |
managementZone | integer | Only return hosts that are part of the specified management zone. | query | optional |
hostGroupId | string | Filters the resulting set of hosts by the specified host group. Specify the Dynatrace IDs of the host group you're interested in. | query | optional |
hostGroupName | string | Filters the resulting set of hosts by the specified host group. Specify the name of the host group you're interested in. | query | optional |
includeDetails | boolean | Includes ( Excluding details may make queries faster. If not set, then | query | optional |
pageSize | integer | The number of hosts per result page. If not set, pagination is not used and the result contains all hosts fitting the specified filtering criteria. | query | optional |
nextPageKey | string | The cursor for the next page of results. You can find it in the Next-Page-Key header of the previous response. If you're using pagination, the first page is always returned without this cursor. You must keep all other query parameters as they were in the first request to obtain subsequent pages. | query | optional |
