Global Dashboard as Code

This repository holds the code to generate the Dynatrace Global Dashboard as Code.

The Global Dashboard splits in 2 different dashboards:

• STAGING
• PROD While the PROD dashboard is adapted manually, the Staging dashboard is auto updated when this script runs.

Prerequisites

Python packages

Before executing scripts, python requirements have to be satisfied. To do so, execute following command: pip install -r requirements.txt

.env file

To provide authentication for API calls, create ".env" file in the script directory with following definition:

<ENV NAME>=<ENV TOKEN>
<ENV NAME> is name of environment variable. This name should be passed to "environment.yaml" file as "env-token-name" parameter

Usage

python createDash.py [-h] [-R ROWS] [--auto-upload]

options:
-h, --help            show help message and exit
-R ROWS, --rows ROWS  Number of rows per dashboard. If not specified, all rows will be added to single dashboard
						(default: None)
--auto-upload         Auto upload to STAGING dashboard (default: False)
