How to Use

• Place your dashboard JSON files in the folder named dashboard_files located in the same directory as the tool.

• Fill the required fields in the GUI:
  • Dynatrace Tenant URL (e.g., https://your-env.live.dynatrace.com)
  • API Token with WriteConfig permission
  • Dashboard Owner Username
