# Dynatrace

Send logs to 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).

## 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.
2. Determine your Dynatrace [environment ID](https://docs.dynatrace.com/docs/shortlink/monitoring-environment#environment-id).
3. In your main Fluent Bit configuration file, append the following `Output` section:

   ```
   [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
   ```

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.fluentbit.io/manual/3.2/pipeline/outputs/dynatrace.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
