What type of API requests can entities.write in Dynatrace handle?

The entities.write API in Dynatrace is specifically designed to handle modifications to monitored entities within the monitoring system. This includes operations that create, update, or delete entities, which correlates with the functionalities associated with POST, PUT, and DELETE requests.

With POST requests, new entities can be created. PUT requests allow for existing entities to be updated, while DELETE requests are utilized to remove entities from the monitoring system. Additionally, this API can also manage custom tags associated with the entities, providing a comprehensive approach to how monitored items are handled.

Other options do not correctly align with the capabilities of the entities.write API. For instance, only GET requests would limit the API to retrieve data without any modifications, which does not reflect the write operations that this API is designed for. Similarly, stating that it only handles READ requests of monitored entities would again miss the core purpose of write capabilities. Lastly, the management of OneAgent extensions is outside the scope of what the entities.write API is intended for, focusing instead on entity management within Dynatrace.
