# Reading from Dynatrace entities
<a name="dynatrace-reading-from-entities"></a>

**Prerequisite**

A Dynatrace object you would like to read from. You will need the object name such as "problem".

**Supported entities for source**:


| Entity | Can be filtered | Supports limit | Supports Order by | Supports Select \$1 | Supports partitioning | 
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | 
| Problem | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | No | 

**Example**:

```
Dynatrace_read = glueContext.create_dynamic_frame.from_options(
    connection_type="Dynatrace",
    connection_options={
        "connectionName": "connectionName",
        "ENTITY_NAME": "problem",
        "API_VERSION": "v2",
        "INSTANCE_URL": "https://[instanceName].live.dynatrace.com"
    }
```

**Dynatrace entity and field details**:

Dynatrace provides endpoints to fetch metadata dynamically for supported entities. Accordingly, operator support is captured at the datatype level.
