Dynatrace
Port's Dynatrace integration allows you to model Dynatrace resources in your software catalog and ingest data into them.
Overview
This integration allows you to:
- Map and organize your desired Dynatrace resources and their metadata in Port (see supported resources below).
- Watch for Dynatrace object changes (create/update/delete) in real-time, and automatically apply the changes to your software catalog.
Supported Resources
The resources that can be ingested from Dynatrace into Port are listed below. It is possible to reference any field that appears in the API responses linked below for the mapping configuration.
problem
entity
slo
entity types
for selectors in theentity
resource.
Prerequisites
Generate a Dynatrace API key
- Navigate to
<instanceURL>/ui/apps/dynatrace.classic.tokens/ui/access-tokens
. For example, if you access your Dynatrace instance athttps://npm82883.apps.dynatrace.com
, you should navigate tohttps://npm82883.apps.dynatrace.com/ui/apps/dynatrace.classic.tokens/ui/access-tokens
. - Click Generate new token to create a new token. Ensure the permissions:
DataExport
,Read entities
,Read problems
andRead SLO
are assigned to the token. TheDataExport
permission allows Dynatrace to perform healthchecks before ingestion starts.
Construct your Dynatrace Host URL
Your Dynatrace host URL should be https://<environment-id>.live.dynatrace.com
. Note that there is a difference between the instance URL and the API host URL. The former contains apps
while the latter (as shown prior) uses live
. This means if your environment ID is npm82883
, your API host URL should be https://npm82883.live.dynatrace.com
.
Setup
Choose one of the following installation methods:
- Hosted by Port
- Real-time (self-hosted)
- Scheduled (CI)
Using this installation option means that the integration will be hosted by Port, with a customizable resync interval to ingest data into Port.
Live event support
Currently, live events are not supported for integrations hosted by Port.
Resyncs will be performed periodically (with a configurable interval), or manually triggered by you via Port's UI.
Therefore, real-time events (including GitOps) will not be ingested into Port immediately.
Support for live events is WIP and will be supported in the near future.
Alternatively, you can install the integration using the Real-time (self-hosted) method to update Port in real time using webhooks.
Installation
To install, follow these steps:
-
Go to the Data sources page of your portal.
-
Click on the
+ Data source
button in the top-right corner. -
Click on the relevant integration in the list.
-
Under
Select your installation method
, chooseHosted by Port
. -
Configure the
integration settings
andapplication settings
as you wish (see below for details).
Application settings
Every integration hosted by Port has the following customizable application settings, which are configurable after installation:
-
Resync interval
: The frequency at which Port will ingest data from the integration. There are various options available, ranging from every 1 hour to once a day. -
Send raw data examples
: A boolean toggle (enabled
by default). If enabled, raw data examples will be sent from the integration to Port. These examples are used when testing your mapping configuration, they allow you to run yourjq
expressions against real data and see the results.
Integration settings
Every integration has its own tool-specific settings, under the Integration settings
section.
Each of these settings has an ⓘ icon next to it, which you can hover over to see a description of the setting.
Port secrets
Some integration settings require sensitive pieces of data, such as tokens.
For these settings, Port secrets will be used, ensuring that your sensitive data is encrypted and secure.
When filling in such a setting, its value will be obscured (shown as ••••••••
).
For each such setting, Port will automatically create a secret in your organization.
To see all secrets in your organization, follow these steps.
Port source IP addresses
When using this installation method, Port will make outbound calls to your 3rd-party applications from static IP addresses.
You may need to add these addresses to your allowlist, in order to allow Port to interact with the integrated service:
- Europe (EU)
- United States (US)
54.73.167.226
63.33.143.237
54.76.185.219
3.234.37.33
54.225.172.136
3.225.234.99
Using this installation option means that the integration will be able to update Port in real time using webhooks.
Prerequisites
To install the integration, you need a Kubernetes cluster that the integration's container chart will be deployed to.
Please make sure that you have kubectl
and helm
installed on your machine, and that your kubectl
CLI is connected to the Kubernetes cluster where you plan to install the integration.
If you are having trouble installing this integration, please refer to these troubleshooting steps.
For details about the available parameters for the installation, see the table below.
- Helm
- ArgoCD
To install the integration using Helm:
-
Go to the Dynatrace data source page in your portal.
-
Select the
Real-time and always on
method: -
A
helm
command will be displayed, with default values already filled out (e.g. your Port cliend ID, client secret, etc).
Copy the command, replace the placeholders with your values, then run it in your terminal to install the integration.
The baseUrl
, port_region
, port.baseUrl
, portBaseUrl
, port_base_url
and OCEAN__PORT__BASE_URL
parameters are used to select which instance or Port API will be used.
Port exposes two API instances, one for the EU region of Port, and one for the US region of Port.
- If you use the EU region of Port (https://app.getport.io), your API URL is
https://api.getport.io
. - If you use the US region of Port (https://app.us.getport.io), your API URL is
https://api.us.getport.io
.
To install the integration using ArgoCD:
- Create a
values.yaml
file inargocd/my-ocean-dynatrace-integration
in your git repository with the content:
Remember to replace the placeholders for DYNATRACE_HOST_URL
and DYNATRACE_API_KEY
.

ArgoCD Application by creating the followingmy-ocean-dynatrace-integration.yaml
manifest:
Remember to replace the placeholders for YOUR_PORT_CLIENT_ID
YOUR_PORT_CLIENT_SECRET

The baseUrl
, port_region
, port.baseUrl
, portBaseUrl
, port_base_url
and OCEAN__PORT__BASE_URL
parameters are used to select which instance or Port API will be used.
Port exposes two API instances, one for the EU region of Port, and one for the US region of Port.
- If you use the EU region of Port (https://app.getport.io), your API URL is
https://api.getport.io
. - If you use the US region of Port (https://app.us.getport.io), your API URL is
https://api.us.getport.io
.
Configuration
Port integrations use a YAML mapping block to ingest data from the third-party api into Port.
The mapping makes use of the JQ JSON processor to select, modify, concatenate, transform and perform other operations on existing fields and values from the integration API.
Ingest additional resource types
By default, the entity
kind ingests only entities of type APPLICATION
and SERVICE
due to the large number of available resources. However, you can configure the entity
kind mapping to ingest entities of other types.
To do this, use the entityTypes
selector in the entity mapping like so:

createMissingRelatedEntities: true
deleteDependentEntities: true

- kind: entity

query: "true"
