Feature Summary

Next to logstash, splunk and others, it would be nice to add Dynatrace to the list of supported logging aggregators.

The configuration is very similar to Splunk. The HTTP header value changes from Splunk to Api-Token .

This is a working config file:

[root@aap ~]# cat /var/lib/awx/rsyslog/rsyslog.conf
$WorkDirectory /var/lib/awx/rsyslog
$MaxMessageSize 700000
$IncludeConfig /var/lib/awx/rsyslog/conf.d/*.conf
main_queue(queue.spoolDirectory="/var/lib/awx" queue.maxdiskspace="1g" queue.type="Disk" queue.filename="awx-external-logger-backlog")
module(load="imuxsock" SysSock.Use="off")
input(type="imuxsock" Socket="/var/run/awx-rsyslog/rsyslog.sock" unlink="on" RateLimit.Burst="0")
template(name="awx" type="string" string="%rawmsg-after-pri%")
module(load="omhttp")
action(type="omhttp" server="fdgXXXXX.live.dynatrace.com" serverport="443" usehttps="on" allowunsignedcerts="off" skipverifyhost="off" action.resumeRetryCount="-1" template="awx" action.resumeInterval="6" errorfile="/var/log/tower/rsyslog.err" restpath="api/v2/logs/ingest" httpheaderkey="Authorization" httpheadervalue="Api-Token dt0c01.ABCDEFGH")

@sebw thank you for looking into getting Dynatrace working with AWX. Sounds like the change is straightforward, would you be interested in opening a PR to get this feature added (and a docs change)?

would also want to check that this Dynatrace option is populated in the UI here (settings > log settings)
