description	Deploy Dynatrace observability with dtwiz — analyze systems, get ranked recommendations, and install monitoring (OneAgent, Kubernetes, Docker, OTel, AWS, Azure, GCP). Use when the user wants to set up, manage, or ingest data into Dynatrace monitoring. Covers ingesting metrics, logs, and traces from AWS, Azure, GCP, Kubernetes, containers, or hosts into Dynatrace via dtwiz.

Dynatrace Setup with dtwiz

Go CLI that detects your environment and deploys the best Dynatrace monitoring method automatically. Core principle: if we detect it, we enable monitoring for it — zero config, all defaults on.

Prerequisites

• dtwiz installed (curl -sfL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dynatrace-oss/dtwiz/main/scripts/install.sh | sh)
• Dynatrace environment URL + API token
• Auth via flags or env vars:

export DT_ENVIRONMENT=https://<your-tenant-domain>
export DT_PLATFORM_TOKEN=dt0s16.****

Or pass per-command: --environment, --platform-token.

For environments where the access token is required, pass --access-token dt0c01.**** explicitly.

Recommended Initialization

At the start of a task, run these checks to establish context:

# Verify connection and see system analysis
dtwiz status

# Machine-readable system detection
dtwiz analyze --json

# Ranked recommendations
dtwiz recommend --json

CLI Commands

Command	Description
dtwiz setup	Interactive: analyze → recommend → pick → install
dtwiz analyze [--json]	Detect platform, containers, K8s, agents, cloud, services
dtwiz recommend [--json]	Ranked ingestion recommendations based on analysis
dtwiz status	Connection status + system analysis
dtwiz install <method>	Install a specific ingestion method
dtwiz update <method>	Patch an existing method configuration
dtwiz uninstall <method>	Remove an installed method
dtwiz version	Print the dtwiz version

All install, update, and uninstall commands support --dry-run.

Install Methods

Method	Command	What it does
OneAgent	dtwiz install oneagent	Full-stack host monitoring
Kubernetes	dtwiz install kubernetes	Deploy Dynatrace Operator (cloudNativeFullStack)
Docker	dtwiz install docker	OneAgent for Docker containers
OTel	dtwiz install otel	OTel Collector + application instrumentation
OTel Collector	dtwiz install otel-collector	OTel Collector only (no app instrumentation)
OTel Java	dtwiz install otel-java	OpenTelemetry Java auto-instrumentation
OTel Python	dtwiz install otel-python	OpenTelemetry Python auto-instrumentation
AWS	dtwiz install aws	CloudFormation integration (all services, all regions)
Azure	dtwiz install azure	Azure Monitor integration
GCP	dtwiz install gcp	Google Cloud Platform integration

Key Concepts

URL Families

Two URL families — using the wrong one causes 404s or auth errors:

Family	Pattern	Auth header	Use for
Classic	<env-id>.<domain>/api/...	Api-Token dt0c01.*	/api/v1, /api/v2, OneAgent download, OTel ingest
Platform	<env-id>.apps.<domain>/platform/...	Bearer <token>	DQL/Grail queries, Platform APIs

Token Types

Prefix	Type	Auth header
dt0c01.*	API token	Api-Token <token>
dt0s16.*	Platform token	Bearer <token>

Dry Run

Preview any install/update/uninstall without executing:

dtwiz install otel --dry-run
dtwiz uninstall oneagent --dry-run

Zero-Config Defaults

• OneAgent: full-stack mode
• Kubernetes: cloudNativeFullStack
• AWS: all services + all regions

Common Workflows

# Full interactive setup (recommended for first-time use)
dtwiz setup

# Analyze only — no install
dtwiz analyze

# Install a specific method with preview first
dtwiz install otel --dry-run
dtwiz install otel

# Patch an existing OTel Collector config with Dynatrace exporter
dtwiz update otel

# Remove OneAgent
dtwiz uninstall oneagent

Common Issues

Cloud/K8s not detected:

• Kubernetes → connect to a cluster with kubectl first
• AWS → sign in with aws configure
• Azure → sign in with az login
• GCP → sign in with gcloud auth login

404 errors:

• Wrong URL family. Classic endpoints must not have .apps. in the URL. Platform endpoints must.

403 errors:

• Wrong auth header. DQL/Platform endpoints need Bearer auth, even for dt0c01.* tokens. Classic API endpoints need Api-Token auth.

Token prefix mismatch:

• dt0c01.* = API token (Classic API)
• dt0s16.* = Platform token (new APIs)

Safety Reminders

• Use --dry-run before destructive operations
• All installs show a preview and prompt Apply? [Y/n] before executing
• Uninstall commands show what will be removed and require confirmation
