What does the entities.read API in Dynatrace allow access to?

The entities.read API in Dynatrace is specifically designed to allow users to perform GET requests that retrieve information about monitored entities and custom tags. This functionality is crucial for users who need to access detailed information about various entities such as applications, services, hosts, and other monitored components within their Dynatrace environment.

By using the entities.read API, developers and DevOps engineers can script and automate the retrieval of data, enabling them to integrate Dynatrace insights into their workflows or dashboards. This capability supports better monitoring and troubleshooting efforts, especially when analyzing performance metrics or tagging schemes related to specific resources.

The other options related to POST, PUT, DELETE requests, uploading OneAgent extensions, or configuration management, do not accurately represent the primary function of the entities.read API, which is centered exclusively on retrieving data rather than modifying it or managing configurations.
