Set up Dynatrace space

Who can do this?
- Subscription Admins of an approved StackOps subscription.

Use Console to create a Dynatrace space. Each space will be configured with capabilities that you have selected at creation. You can add on more capabilities later, but cannot delete existing capabilities.

Once the resource has been provisioned, the primary Subscription Admin will receive an onboarding email within 3 working days on the next steps required to complete your Dynatrace setup.

Grouping Dynatrace spaces

When creating a Dynatrace space, you must tag it to a TechBiz system. Systems are a way of organising and grouping together various related resources (e.g. a Dynatrace space, a StackOps Elastic deployment).

One system can have multiple Dynatrace spaces. For example, in the diagram below, System C has two spaces (3 and 4) to keep separate staging and production envs.

Before you begin

Make sure you have the following:

• An existing system in Console. Refer to Console documentation for more details on how to create a system.
