Steps to Create New Relic Forwarding

To forward your logs to Dynatrace, begin by logging into Apica's website.

• Navigate to the Create tab and select the option for Forwarder.

• Next, choose Dynatrace(HTTP event collector) from the available options; this will bring up a new form with fields such as API Key, Host, Tags, etc. Fill out the required data in these fields and click Create.

Create Forwarder:

Api_Key:       <DYNATRACE-API-KEY>
Host:          <DYNATRACE-ENDPOINT>
Tags:          logflow
Type:          _json
Name:          Dynatrace

• Next, head over to the Explore page and pick out a namespace you wish to forward your logs to Dynatrace.

• Click on the three dots icon located next to the calendar and opt for Map Forwarder; this will open a new modal that allows you to choose the newly created Dynatrace forwarder schema (this can be identified via its Dynatrace icon).

• Confirm your selection by clicking OK.

• A successful mapping is indicated by a popup showing that namespace-application pairs are connected with respective forwarders; additionally, you'll notice an updated Namespace Forwarder status in effect.

• Your logs are now being forwarded to Dynatrace.

To help make the steps easier to understand, below are the screenshots illustrating each of the instructions given above.
