The Synthetic monitor port Extension allows you to Monitor the availability of ports across Hosts. Each endpoint can monitor multiple ports on a single host.

The Extension creates Third-Party Synthetic monitors that can be accessed via the Synthetic tool in the Dynatrace menu.

Features

• Response time is available for each port checked on a host.
• Configurable test frequency
• Configurable Problem creation based on the number of consecutive failures of a port check.

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. The ActiveGate needs to have the restInterface module enabled, which is the default behavior.

1. Install the Extension on an 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.thirdparty_port.zip
• Adjust the path if the OneAgent was installed somewhere other than /opt/dynatrace

Windows:

• Unzip the Extension to: %PROGRAMFILES%\dynatrace\remotepluginmodule\plugin_deployment
• Adjust the path if the OneAgent was installed somewhere other than %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_port\<extension files>

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
