Synthetically monitor your DNS servers to be proactively alerted when they go down.
The Extension creates Third-Party Synthetic monitors that can be accessed via the Synthetic tool in the Dynatrace menu.
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.
Extract the extension zip file to the plugin_deployment
folder at the root of the remote plugin module.
Linux:
unzip -o -d /opt/dynatrace/remotepluginmodule/plugin_deployment custom.remote.python.thirdparty_dns.zip
/opt/dynatrace
Windows:
%PROGRAMFILES%\dynatrace\remotepluginmodule\plugin_deployment
%PROGRAMFILES%\dynatrace
Tip: Make sure the unzipped folder is not nested inside another folder. The path should be in the form: \plugin_deployment\custom.remote.python.thirdparty_dns\<extension files>
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
