DQL Syntax

Obsidian plugin — syntax highlighting for Dynatrace Query Language (DQL)

Engineers and SREs who document their Dynatrace workflows in Obsidian can get proper syntax highlighting for embedded DQL queries.

Usage

```dql
fetch logs, from:now()-1h
| filter matchesValue(log.source, "pgi.log")
| summarize count(), by:{status, host.name}
| sort count desc

```

Works in reading mode with full token highlighting and a copy button.
