Add validation insight links to provide contextual information and resources for an objective. Using validation insight links, you can go directly to dashboards, notebooks, or external tools such as SonarQube.

How to add and access validation insight links

To add a validation insight link:

Go to your guardian.
Select your objective.
On the right-hand side, select Add link.
Enter the dashboard, notebook, or SonarQube URL in the Enter or paste the link field.

These validation insight links are visible as Validation insights for the objective.

You can add up to five links per objective.
Links must be valid HTTPS URLs.
Display text for each link is optional.

Access validation insight links from Site Reliability Guardian Site Reliability Guardian:

Go to your guardian.
Select Analyze.
Go to the Validation result section. The links are under Validation insights for the objective.

Access validation insight links using DQL:

For Lifecycle guardians, you can find the validation insights for the event type validation.objective in the property dt.srg.objective.

Here is an example query for Lifecycle guardian:

fetch events
| filter event.kind == "SDLC_EVENT"
| filter event.type == "validation.objective"
| filter event.provider == "dynatrace.site.reliability.guardian"
| fields dt.srg.objective

For Business guardians, you can find the objective links for the event type guardian.validation.objective in the property guardian.objective.

Here is an example query for Business guardian:
```
fetch bizevents
| filter event.provider == "dynatrace.site.reliability.guardian"
| filter event.type == "guardian.validation.objective"
| fields guardian.objective
```

Take a look at Guardian execution context. Use events from your Continuous Integration (CI) tool to send them to Dynatrace, which, in turn, can trigger validation of your guardian in a workflow.
