FAQPage Schema

How do I create and deploy Dynatrace dashboards using a structured workflow?▼

To create and deploy Dynatrace dashboards, follow a 7-step guided workflow that covers defining purpose, exploring data, planning structure, writing DQL queries, building JSON, and running validation scripts before deployment.

What is the best way to validate Dynatrace dashboard JSON before deployment?▼

The best way to validate dashboard JSON is using the mandatory validation steps and deployment scripts provided, which check skill-driven queries and structural integrity before you deploy to Dynatrace.

Can I build complex Dynatrace dashboards across multiple data sources?▼

Yes, you can build complex dashboards across multiple data sources by progressively loading references and handling variables, ensuring all DQL queries are validated against the target sources.

How does variable handling work when generating Dynatrace dashboards?▼

Variable handling works by processing dashboard JSON structures during the construction phase, allowing you to define and validate skill-driven queries that dynamically filter data across your dashboard tiles.

Do I need to know DQL to design dashboards with this workflow?▼

You need to understand DQL concepts to define data queries, but the skill-driven workflow provides query generation guidance and validation scripts to help you construct and test them correctly.

Why does my Dynatrace dashboard deployment fail validation checks?▼

Dashboard deployment fails validation when the constructed JSON or DQL queries do not pass the mandatory deployment checks, requiring you to revisit the query validation step before deploying.
