Set up application monitoring

To set up application monitoring with the Dynatrace SaaS/Managed Service, bind the service to an application in Apps Manager or use the cf CLI. Run the command below to pass the parameters.

  1. Create a service instance based on the plan(s) you have configured.

    cf create-service SERVICE PLAN SERVICE_INSTANCE
    • SERVICE needs to be dynatrace.
    • PLAN depends on the plans that have been configured in Ops Manager; in the example above, this would be planname.
    • SERVICE_INSTANCE is the name of the cf service that will be created and which you need to bind to the application.

  2. Bind the service to an application by using the cf CLI for example.

    cf bind-service APP_NAME SERVICE_INSTANCE
    • APP_NAME: the name of your App.
    • SERVICE_INSTANCE: the name of the Service Instance you have created with the command above.

After binding the service to an application, start using Dynatrace SaaS/Managed.
