Details

The extension uses the IBM Event Streams REST API to collect data. It requires an API token.

Requirements

The Extension must be installed both on an ActiveGate and on the Dynatrace Cluster. See Deploy an extension in our full documentation for more details.

1. Install the Extension on an Environment ActiveGate

Extract the extension zip file to the plugin_deployment folder at the root of the remote plugin module.

Linux:

• A default installation can be done with the following command: unzip -o -d /opt/dynatrace/remotepluginmodule/plugin_deployment custom.remote.python.ibm_event_streams.zip
• Adjust the path if the Activegate was installed somewhere other than /opt/dynatrace

Windows:

• Unzip the Extension to: %PROGRAMFILES%\dynatrace\remotepluginmodule\plugin_deployment
• Adjust the path if the Activegate was installed somewhere other than %PROGRAMFILES%\dynatrace

2. Upload the Extension to the Dynatrace Cluster via UI in the browser

Upload the same extension zip file to your tenant. The Extension configuration and upload UI is located at:

Settings > Monitored technologies > Custom extensions > Upload extension

Endpoint

The parameters for the connection are:

• Event Streams API URL
  • This is the URL for the cluster, ie: https://kafka-0.some-id.us-east.containers.appdomain.cloud
• Event Streams API Token
  • Note, this is the actual token, not the Authorization Header value, we create the authorization header based on this token value (you can base64 decode the authorization header to get the token inside)
• Frequency in Minutes
• Proxy Address (Optional) - if the Activegate can’t reach the API URL without a proxy)
• Proxy Username (Optional)
• Proxy Password (Optional))
• Log level
