Dynatrace Log Integration for Bold BI Deployment on OKE

Step 1 – Create an account in Dynatrace

Use the site to create an account in Dynatrace - https://www.dynatrace.com

After the account creation, you will have an account URL which looks like: https://abc12345.apps.dynatrace.com

Step 2 - Create Required Tokens in Dynatrace

We need to generate 2 tokens – Operator token and Data Ingest token

Documentation reference for generating tokens - Access tokens and permissions — Dynatrace Docs

Go to Settings > Access tokens (or search for “Access tokens”)
Select Generate new token
Provide a meaningful name for the token
Enable the required permissions for the token.
For the Operator token, select the template in Template > Kubernetes: Dynatrace Operator. This will automatically add the required scopes.
For the Data Ingest token, select the template in Template > Kubernetes: Data Ingest. This will automatically add the required scopes.
Select Generate token to create the token
Ensure to copy the token and store it in a secure place

Step 3 – Form the API URL

You can form the API URL with your account by adding ‘/api’ in the end and replace ‘apps’ with ‘live’

Example, If your account is https://abc12345.apps.dynatrace.com, then the API URL will be like below

API URL: https://abc12345.live.dynatrace.com/api

Step 4 – Deploy Dynatrace on the OKE cluster

Install the Dynatrace Operator from the OCI registry:

If helm version 3 run below command

helm install dynatrace-operator oci://public.ecr.aws/dynatrace/dynatrace-operator --create-namespace --namespace dynatrace --atomic

If helm version 4 then run below

helm install dynatrace-operator oci://public.ecr.aws/dynatrace/dynatrace-operator --create-namespace --namespace dynatrace --rollback-on-failure --wait --timeout 10m

Store your tokens securely in a Kubernetes secret:

You need to use the Operator token and the Data Ingest token that you have generated in the Step 2

kubectl -n dynatrace create secret generic dynakube --from-literal="apiToken=<YOUR_OPERATOR_TOKEN>" --from-literal="dataIngestToken=<YOUR_DATA_INGEST_TOKEN>"

Output: secret/dynakube created

Create and Apply the DynaKube Custom Resource

Create a file – dynakube.yaml and paste the below content:

Note: Replace your API URL with corresponding value from Step 3

apiVersion: dynatrace.com/v1beta5
kind: DynaKube

 name: dynakube
 namespace: dynatrace
