What is the response for a request that fails to find the requested resource in Dynatrace API?

In the context of the Dynatrace API, a response indicating that the requested resource cannot be found is accurately represented by the status code 404 - Not Found. This status code is standard in web development and is used to inform the client that the server cannot find the requested resource. When an API call is made for a particular resource, such as an endpoint related to monitoring or service data, and that resource does not exist or cannot be located on the server, the response will be a 404 error. This clearly communicates to the user that the request did not succeed due to the absence of the requested content.

Other status codes serve different purposes: 401 - Unauthorized indicates authentication issues, 200 - OK designates a successful request, and 429 - Too Many Requests signals that the user is being rate-limited. Therefore, in this scenario, where the failure to locate the requested resource is the issue, 404 - Not Found is indeed the correct response.
