Platform management service

  • 2 minutes

The Platform Management Service (PMS) can retrieve license and settings information in a Dynatrace environment.

Concepts​

You need to know the following concepts to work with the PMS.

License​

Every environment has some information related to the license. This license API includes the following:

  • trial: A boolean value that tells whether an environment is a trial environment.
  • platformSubscription: A boolean that tells whether an environment has an enabled Dynatrace Platform Subscription (DPS) license.

License settings​

Every environment has license-related settings represented by a list of key and value pairs available at /environment/license/settings.

Environment​

Technical information about the environment is provided, such as:

  • environmentId: the actual environment ID corresponding to the canonical URL of <environmentId>.apps.dynatrace.com
  • createTime: timestamp in ISO 8601 of when the environment was created.

Environment settings​

Every environment has some settings that include the following:

  • chatEnabled: A boolean that tells if the chat feature is active for the environment.
  • countryCode: An ISO3166-1 alpha-2 two letter country code. For further details, visit Wikipedia.

Environment effective permissions​

Environment effective permissions provide information on whether the calling user has specific IAM permissions (or scopes) for the environment as listed in the IAM service reference page.

As explained in Authentication, access to Dynatrace API endpoints is only allowed if the calling user is granted the corresponding scope using some policy and group assignment. You can use the effective-permissions endpoint or the corresponding SDK method to check a user's permissions before calling the endpoint guarded by that scope. For more information, visit the Query user permissions guide and learn how to use the SDK.
