State

  • Reference

Provides key-value storage for apps so that app developers can persist and get small chunks of state in the context of their app.

States can either be stored in the context of an app (= app states) or in the context of an app and user (= user app states).

  • States stored per app can be read by every user of the app.
  • States stored per app and user can only be read and updated by the user who originally set that state. Please visit the Dynatrace Developer to learn more about app states and user app states.

getAppStates​

stateClient.getAppStates(config): Promise<AppStates>

List app states

Required scope: state:app-states:read

Lists app states. By default, only provides property key per state. Use add-fields parameter to include more fields and the filter parameter to narrow down the returned states.

Parameters​

NameTypeDescription
config.addFieldsstringProvide a comma separated list of additional properties to be included in the response.

Example: value,modificationInfo
config.filterstring

The filter parameter for filtering the set of returned resources If this parameter is omitted, no filtering is applied and all states will be returned.

Filtering by string type parameters key, modificationInfo.lastModifiedBy when using one of the operators contains, starts-with and ends-with is case insensitive.

When using the operators =and !=, filtering is case sensitive.

The following fields are legal filtering parameters - any other field names will result in a HTTP 400 response:

  • key, supported operators: =, !=, contains, starts-with, ends-with:

  • modificationInfo.lastModifiedTime, supported operators: =, !=, <, <=, >, >=

  • modificationInfo.lastModifiedBy, supported operators: =, !=, contains, starts-with, ends-with

  • validUntilTime, supported operators: =, !=, <, <=, >, >=

The following constraints apply:

  • Field names are case-sensitive.

  • Conditions can be connected via operators and and or. A single condition can be negated by not.

  • Strings must be enclosed in single quotes. e.g. key contains 'my-string'

  • Single quotes within a string must be escaped with a backslash: e.g. key starts-with 'it\'s a string'

  • Maximum nesting depth (via brackets) is 2.

  • Maximum length is 256 characters.

Examples:

  • key starts-with 'game-'

  • modificationInfo.lastModifiedTime >= '2022-07-01T00:10:05.000Z' and not (key contains 'new')



Example: modificationInfo.lastModifiedTime >= '2022-02-06T11:00:00Z'

Returns​

Return typeStatus codeDescription
AppStates200The list of app states

Throws​

Error TypeError Message
UnauthorizedUnauthorized
