getAppSettingsObjectByObjectId

appSettingsObjectsClient.getAppSettingsObjectByObjectId(config): Promise<AppSettingsObject>

Gets the specified settings object

Required scope: app-settings:objects:read Required permission: app-settings:objects:read

Gets the specified settings object. Properties of type secret will be included in plain text if the call originates from a serverless function of your app; they will have irreversibly masked values otherwise. This protects these secrets from leaking to users of your app or other third parties.

Parameters

NameTypeDescription
config.objectId*requiredstringThe ID of the required settings object.

Returns

Return typeStatus codeDescription
AppSettingsObject200Success

Throws

Error TypeError Message
AppSettingsErrorEnvelopeErrorFailed. The input is invalid. | Failed. Forbidden. | No object available for the given objectId

Code example

import { appSettingsObjectsClient } from "@dynatrace-sdk/client-app-settings";

const data =
await appSettingsObjectsClient.getAppSettingsObjectByObjectId(
{ objectId: "..." },
);

getAppSettingsObjects

appSettingsObjectsClient.getAppSettingsObjects(config): Promise<AppSettingsObjectsList>

Lists persisted settings objects

Required scope: app-settings:objects:read Required permission: app-settings:objects:read

Lists persisted settings objects for selected schemas.

If nothing is persisted or if all persisted settings objects are not accessible due to missing permissions, no items will be returned.

To query the effective values (including schema defaults) please see getEffectiveAppSettingsValues.

Properties of type secret will be included in plain text if the call originates from a serverless function of your app; they will have irreversibly masked values otherwise. This protects these secrets from leaking to users of your app or other third parties.

Parameters

NameTypeDescription
config.addFieldsstring

A list of fields to be included to the response. The provided set of fields extends the default set.

Specify the required top-level fields, separated by commas (for example, summary,value).

Supported fields: objectId, version, summary, searchSummary, schemaId, schemaVersion, modificationInfo, resourceContext, value.

Default fields: objectId, version.

config.pageKeystring

The cursor for the next page of results. You can find it in the nextPageKey field of the previous response.

The first page is always returned if you don't specify the page-key query parameter.

When the page-key is set to obtain subsequent pages, you must omit all other query parameters.

config.pageSizenumber

The amount of settings objects in a single response payload.

The maximal allowed page size is 500.

If not set, 100 is used.

config.schemaIdsstring

A list of comma-separated schema IDs to which the requested objects belong.

To load the first page, when the nextPageKey is not set, this parameter is required.

Returns

Return typeStatus codeDescription
AppSettingsObjectsList200Success. Accessible objects returned.

Even if a response returns a successful response code it is possible that the result is incomplete due to an internal error.

In this case an 'error' property with information about the problem is added. The caller may decide to work with the incomplete result or do a retry of the operation.|

Throws

Error TypeError Message
AppSettingsErrorEnvelopeErrorFailed. The input is invalid. | Failed. Forbidden. | Failed. The specified schema was not found.

Code example

import { appSettingsObjectsClient } from "@dynatrace-sdk/client-app-settings";

const data =
await appSettingsObjectsClient.getAppSettingsObjects();

Lists effective settings values

Required scope: app-settings:objects:read Required permission: app-settings:objects:read

Lists effective settings values for selected schemas. If no object is persisted for a schema with "multiObject": false, the default value as defined in the schema will be returned.

Properties of type secret will be included in plain text if the call originates from a serverless function of your app; they will have irreversibly masked values otherwise. This protects these secrets from leaking to users of your app or other third parties.

appSettingsObjectsClient.putAppSettingsObjectByObjectId(config): Promise<void>

Updates an existing settings object

Required scope: app-settings:objects:write Required permission: app-settings:objects:write

Updates an existing settings object with new values. To update a property of the secret type you need to pass the new value unmasked. To keep the current value, send the current masked secret. You can obtain it via GET an object endpoint.
