Overview

This extension provides you with deep insights into the health of all extensions in your environment created with the Extensions 2.0 framework. It provides unified analysis capabilities for Ops, DevOps and IT Admins.

For more information on the Extensions 2.0 framework, see Extensions 2.0 concepts in Dynatrace Documentation.

Note: The data used is collected for statistical purposes, the customer does not pay additional fees for it.

Use cases

  • Monitor all used extensions
  • Monitor created monitoring configurations
  • Monitor working monitoring configuration endpoints

Get started

Activate the extension using Dynatrace Hub.

Details

The extension comes with two pre-defined dashboards containing the following sections:

  • Extensions health
    • Extension configuration overview - the honeycomb graph presents the percentage of error states for all configurations per extension for a given timeframe. All the configuration states except for OK and IDLE are classified as errors. Most common errors shows the most common error states. You can find detailed information about the latest error using the Configuration log events section.
    • Extension Execution Controller errors - detailed information about issues detected in EEC
    • Extension Resource Consumption -the amount of CPU and memory consumed by all Extensions 2.0 framework processes on the host.
  • Extensions usage - a detailed overview of data points created by extensions with device breakdown.

Note: After creating the monitoring configuration for chosen extension, in the configurations table there will be showing a magnifying glass (look at the last screenshot) that enables go to the Unified Analysis screen for this monitoring configuration.

Limitations

  • Endpoints monitoring is currently supported by SNMP, WMI, and PROMETHEUS.
  • All monitoring configurations in the extension have to use at least version 1.269 ActiveGate and OneAgent to show proper health state for endpoints.
