Problem Feed and Details

const { Dynatrace } = require("@davis/dynatrace");
const redis = require("redis").createClient();

const dynatrace = new Dynatrace({
  baseUrl: "https://base-url-of-dynatrace-server",
  apiToken: "api-token-of-dynatrace-server",
  redis: redis, // this is optional
  cacheTTL: 600, // defaults to 60. Time to cache entities in seconds
  cachePrefix: "davis-redis-cache" // prefix for redis keys to prevent collisions
});

dynatrace
  .problemFeed({
    relativeTime: "day"
  })
  .then(problems => {
    // Full list of problems here
    console.log(`There were ${problems.length} problems in the last day.`);
    // There were 191 problems in the last day.
    return problems[0];
  })
  .then(problem => {
    // single problem here
    console.log(
      `The first problem is a ${problem.status} ${problem.impactLevel} problem`
    );
    // The first problem is a CLOSED APPLICATION problem
    return problem.getDetails();
  })
  .then(details => {
    // more detailed problem information here
    console.log(`with ${details.commentCount} comments.`);
    // with 0 comments.

    return details.addComment({
      content: "Checked using the dynatrace nodejs client",
      username: "@cto",
      context: "nodejs client"
    });
  });

      relativeTime: "day"
    });
  })
  .then(data => {
    console.log(util.inspect(data, null, null));
  });

Deployments

Deploy An Application

async function deploy(entityId) {
  const deployment = dynatrace.startDeployment({
    deploymentName: "Test deployment",
    deploymentProject: "dynatrace node module",
    deploymentVersion: "0.0.1-7",
    source: "dynatrace node module"
  });

  // helpers for setting API parameters
  deployment.attachRules({ entityIds: [entityId] });

  // Deployment things here

  deployment.ciBackLink("https://link-to-ci");
  return deployment.send();
}

Get Deployments

async function deployments(entityId) {
  dynatrace
    .applications()
    .then(apps => apps[0])
    .then(app => app.deployments())
    .then(console.log);
}

      relativeTime: "2hours",
      queryMode: "total",
      aggregationType: "avg"
    })
  );
