Extensions 2.0
Get your data into Dynatrace with Extensions 2.0.
Dynatrace can ingest data from hundreds of tools, which means you get:
- A single source of truth for observability.
- A continuous flow of actionable data to help you fix problems quickly, maintain complex systems, improve code quality, and accelerate digital transformation.
If we don't have a pre-built solution for your situation, you can declaratively bring metrics into Dynatrace that feed platform analytics and monitoring capabilities. Dynatrace links your data in a meaningful way so you can explore it, build instrumentation, and set up alerting.
Dynatrace version 1.213 introduced a minimal scope of the Extensions 2.0, that is the capability of distributing the JSON definitions of dashboards and custom events for alerting via extensions.
Dynatrace version 1.215 introduces SNMP and WMI extensions.
