The origin of the tag, such as AWS or Cloud Foundry. For custom tags use the CONTEXTLESS value.
The context is set for tags that are automatically imported by OneAgent (for example, from the AWS console or environment variables). It’s useful for determining the origin of tags when not manually defined, and it also helps to prevent clashes with other existing tags. If the tag is not automatically imported, CONTEXTLESS set.
AWSAWS_GENERICAZURECLOUD_FOUNDRYCONTEXTLESSENVIRONMENTGOOGLE_COMPUTE_ENGINEKUBERNETESThe key of the tag. For custom tags, put the tag value here.
The key allows categorization of multiple tags. It is possible that there are multiple values for a single key which will all be represented as standalone tags. Therefore, the key does not have the semantic of a map key but is more like a key of a key-value tuple. In some cases, for example custom tags, the key represents the actual tag value and the value field is not set – those are called valueless tags.
The value of the tag. Not applicable to custom tags.
If a tag does have a separate key and value (in the textual representation they are split by the colon ‘:’), this field is set with the actual value. Key-value pairs can occur for automatically imported tags and tags set by rules if extractors are used.

We recommend that you validate the payload before submitting it with an actual request. A response code of 204 indicates a valid payload.
The request consumes an application/json payload.
| POST | SaaS | https://{your-environment-id}.live.dynatrace.com/api/config/v1/calculatedMetrics/service/validator |
| Environment ActiveGate | https://{your-activegate-domain}:9999/e/{your-environment-id}/api/config/v1/calculatedMetrics/service/validator |
To execute this request, you need an access token with WriteConfig scope.
To learn how to obtain and use it, see Tokens and authentication.
Validated. The submitted configuration is valid. Response doesn't have a body.
In this example, the request creates a calculated service metric that tracks the number of requests in services tagged with the payment tag. It splits the values by HTTP status class.
The metric key is calc:service.requestsbycode and the display name is Requests by code.
The API token is passed in the Authorization header.
Because the request body is lengthy, it is truncated in this example Curl section. See the full body in the Request body section. You can download or copy the example request body to try it out on your own. Before using it, make sure that you're using a tag that is available in your environment.
The response contains the key and the name of the newly created metric.
