Dynatrace Tenant Configuration
Allows the extension to create external synthetic tests and post results to the test.
Use the local ActiveGate for synthetic test ingest: [Recommended] This option simplifies configuration of the extension by using the ActiveGate that the extension is running on to ingest the Synthetic events.
URL of the Dynatrace API
URL of the Dynatrace API. Examples: abc123.dynatrace-managed.com/e/d22e9814-d46d-4b11-8ba0-6f76708e385f, abc1234.live.dynatrace.com.

Create a token with the ExternalSyntheticIntegration scope.
Testing Configuration
Configure which tests the extension will run.
Test read
If enabled, the extension will attempt to read the contents of the directory and record the time it takes to perform this check.
Test put
If enabled, the extension will attempt to upload the file provided in the "Local file to upload" parameter. The extension will record the amount of time it takes to perform this test.
Test file processing
Verify that files are being processed as expected. Some SFTP servers run batch jobs or virus scans on files in SFTP directories. These processes temporarily rename files for further processing. This feature monitors files that have been renamed with a specific file suffix and ensures that their processing job is completed within a defined time frame.
File suffix
File suffix that indicates processing is taking place. For example, pending.
File age
Age in minutes that indicates a file failed to be processed
Path Configuration
