Validate Data Forwarding connection configurations in Dynatrace before pipeline activation with the Data Forwarding Validation API.
Dynatrace Data Forwarding Validation API helps you verify data forwarding connection configurations before you activate a pipeline, reducing the risk of misconfigured destinations and failed data delivery. It validates the connection settings you provide and confirms whether the configuration is ready for use, making it easier to catch issues early in setup or during changes. Teams typically use this API as part of provisioning, testing, or deployment workflows to ensure data forwarding is correctly configured before enabling it in production.
Platform API endpoints use Platform token and OAuth client authentication. Attach a platform token or OAuth access token to the Authorization HTTP header using the Bearer scheme.
--header 'Authorization: Bearer <platform-token-or-oauth-access-token>'
For details, see Tokens and authentication and Platform tokens.
