Dynatrace version_11.3.00
"Moviri Integrator for TrueSight Capacity Optimization – Dynatrace" is an additional component of BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization product. It allows extracting data from Dynatrace. Relevant capacity metrics are loaded into BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization, which provides advanced analytics over the extracted data.
The integration supports the extraction of both performance and configuration.
The documentation is targeted at BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization administrators, in charge of configuring and monitoring the integration between BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization and Dynatrace.

Installation
Downloading the additional package
ETL Module is made available in the form of an additional component, which you may download from BMC electronic distribution site (EPD) or retrieve from your content media.
Installing the additional package
To install the connector in the form of a TrueSight Capacity Optimization additional package, refer to Performing system maintenance tasks instructions.
Datasource Check and Configuration
Preparing to connect to the data source software
The Dynatrace Connector requires an authorization token in order to access Dynatrace API.
To generate the token follow these steps:
- Login to the Dynatrace environment
- From the left bar select “Settings”
- Expand the “Integration” menu
- Select “Dynatrace API”
- The only required permission is “Access problem and event feed, metrics, and topology”
- Give a name to the token and then click “Generate Token”
- Copy the generated token and use it in the ETL configuration.
In order to verify if the token is working, you can execute the following command from a linux console:
curl -H "Authorization: Api-Token <token>" https://<dyantrace-fqdn>/api/v1/config/clusterversion
An output similar to the following should be obtained:
{"version": "1.137.79.20180123-105448"}
Connector configuration attributes
The following table shows specific properties of the connector, all the other generic properties are documented here.
The following image shows the list of options in the ETL configuration menu, with advanced properties.
Supported entities
The following entities are supported:
TSCO Entity | Dynatrace entity |
|---|---|
Virtual Machine (VMware, Hyper-V) / Generic | Hosts |
Application Server Instance | Process Groups of JBoss, Tomcat and JVM |
Web Server Instance | Process Groups of Apache HTTPD and Nginx |
Database Server Instance | Process Groups of MySQL and Postgres Databases |
Additional information on Dynatrace entities can be found in the official Dynatrace documentation: https://www.dynatrace.com/support/help/.
Hierarchy
The connector is able to replicate relationships and logical dependencies among these entities. In particular all the available Application are imported with their services and hosts. Additional hosts and services that are not part of a specific application will be imported in another domain tree.
