# Dynatrace

Stream logs to [Dynatrace](https://www.dynatrace.com) by utilizing the **http**
plugin to send data to the
[Dynatrace generic log ingest API](https://docs.dynatrace.com/docs/shortlink/lma-generic-log-ingestion).

## Configuration parameters

| Key | Description | Default |
| -------------------------- | ----------- | ------- |
| `header` | The specific header for content-type. | `Content-Type application/json; charset=utf-8` |
| `header` | The specific header for authorization token, where {your-API-token-here} is the Dynatrace API token with log ingest scope. | Authorization Api-Token {your-API-token-here} |
| `allow_duplicated_headers` | Specifies duplicated header use. | `false` |
| `host` | Your Dynatrace environment hostname where {your-environment-id} is your environment ID. | `{your-environment-id}.live.dynatrace.com` |
| `port` | TCP port of your Dynatrace host. | `443` |
| `uri` | Specify the HTTP URI for Dynatrace log ingest API. | `/api/v2/logs/ingest` |
| `format` | The data format to be used in the HTTP request body. | `json` |
| `json_date_format` | Date format standard for JSON. | `iso8601` |
| `json_date_key` | Fieldname specifying message timestamp. | `timestamp` |
| `tls` | Specify to use TLS. | `on` |
| `tls.verify` | TLS verification. | `on` |

## Getting started

To get started with sending logs to Dynatrace:

1. Get a [Dynatrace API](https://docs.dynatrace.com/docs/shortlink/api-authentication)
token with the `logs.ingest` (Ingest Logs) scope.
1. Determine your Dynatrace
[environment ID](https://docs.dynatrace.com/docs/shortlink/monitoring-environment#environment-id).
1. In your main Fluent Bit configuration file, append the following `Output` section:

```text
[OUTPUT]
name http
match *
header Content-Type application/json; charset=utf-8
header Authorization Api-Token {your-API-token-here}
allow_duplicated_headers false
host {your-environment-id}.live.dynatrace.com
Port 443
URI /api/v2/logs/ingest
Format json
json_date_format iso8601
json_date_key timestamp
tls On
tls.verify On
