DynaKube parameters for Dynatrace Operator on Kubernetes/OpenShift

After creating the DynaKube custom resource, Dynatrace Operator deploys various components based on the configuration you chose. Review the available parameters and adapt the DynaKube custom resource according to your requirements. For some working examples, see the Dynakube samples from Github.

You can't enable more than one module (classicFullStack, cloudNativeFullStack, hostMonitoring, or applicationMonitoring).

If you want to revert an argument, you need to set it to empty instead of removing it from the custom resource.

Example:

yaml
args:
  - "--set-host-group="

Global parameters

The following parameters apply to all configuration options.

Parameter	Description	Default value
`apiUrl`	Required Dynatrace apiUrl, including the `/api` path at the end. - For SaaS, set `YOUR_ENVIRONMENT_ID` to your environment ID. - For Managed, change the `apiUrl` address.

classicFullStack

For Anthos, SUSE CaaS, Google Kubernetes Engine, and VMware Tanzu Kubernetes Grid Integrated Edition (formerly PKE), you must add the following additional parameters to the env section in the DynaKube custom resource file.

Note: Starting with Dynatrace Operator version 0.5, when a read-only host file system is used with cloudNativeFullStack or hostMonitoring deployments, these additional parameters aren't needed. They are needed only if the feature is explicitly disabled. For details, see Read-only file systems.
