Full version history

Add credential vault support for username and password
Add new filtering parameters to use on the API call: host, host group, application and subapplication.
Fix bug with invalid metric lines when parsing special characters

Full version history

🚀 Improved in this version:

Added description, cyclic and number of runs as dimensions for all individual jon metrics
Added device.address dimension to all metrics as the IP corresponding to the configured hostname, when possible

✨ New in this version:

Add support for the dt.security_context attribute
Add new platform dashboard
Add platform screens
Added new metric controlm.job.number_of_runs to monitor the number of runs for each job
Added log ingestion for each job individually to track their metadata, start and end times
- This new feature will be disabled by default as it will potentially heavily incur on the DDU consumption of the extension. It can be enabled by turning the Monitor start and end times as logs switch during configuration on.

🐛 Fixed in this version:

Turning on the Debug flag now properly changes the log level
The extension does not capture folders as jobs anymore

Full version history

New features:

Added a new folder name filter. Kept the original client side folder filter, but added a new filter that is query side filtering. Use this when your payloads are above the 10,000 object size limit.

Full version history

Fixed a bug where filtering for jobs and folders would not work correctly

Full version history

Fixed a bug where filtering was not working properly when only folder filtering rules where set.

Full version history

New features:

Log capture for job executions is now optional based on a new configuration parameter. It defaults to False if not set.
New parameter to configure how many threads the extension will spin up to capture the job's logs, if enabled. It defaults to 5 if not set.
Order Date is now captured for every job, if available, as a dimension of the job status metric and as a property of the job entity.

Full version history

Fixed an issue where the status WAIT HOST was not recognized and stopped the execution of the extension, creating missing data.
Added a new metric for counting WAIT HOST status jobs
Added chart for said metric to the job's screen

Full version history

Fixed a bug that prevented metrics from coming in

Full version history

Required minimum version increased to 1.289 for both the ActiveGate and the Dynatrace cluster
Error events generated by the extension now get attached to the corresponding Control-M job entity instead of to the environment
The extension now avoids querying every single job for its log on the first execution and gets only the latest ones
Aded a new server parameter that filters API results by its value
The extension now iterates through multiple paginated results when the amount of jobs returned by the API is greater than 10000

Full version history

Adapted the extension to use cases where all folders in a Control-M instance have the same ID to report all folders correctly.

Full version history

Fixed a broken link in the built-in dashboard.
Fixed a bug where monitoring the first execution of a job would break the extension.
Fixed a bug where the resource consumption of the ActiveGate running the extension would increase to unreasonable numbers based on the amount of jobs monitored.

Full version history
