This OneAgent extension runs commands like repadmin and net view to bring in the metrics:

• Replication - Source Delta - Replication time delta between this server and the source server
• Replication - Destination Delta - Replication time delta between this server and the destination server
• Replication - Source Errors - Replication errors between this server and the source server
• Replication - Destination Errors - Replication errors between this server and the destination server
• Replication - Shared Resource Available - Whether shared resource is available or not

Requirements

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

1. Install the Extension on the OneAgent host.

Extract the extension zip file to the plugin_deployment folder at the root of the oneagent.

Linux:

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

Windows:

• Unzip the Extension to: %PROGRAMFILES%\dynatrace\oneagent\plugin_deployment
• Adjust the path if the OneAgent 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

There are four parameters:

• Share hosts to check
  • In case that there are more than one host to run the command “net view <host>” against, this is a comma-separated list of hosts
• Shared resources names to check
  • The name of the shared resources to monitor
  • This is a comma-separated list, case insensitive
• Frequency in minutes
  • How often do we want to run the commands and send data, by default it is every 1 minute
• Log level
  • Use DEBUG if troubleshooting
