AWS CodeBuild

Dynatrace ingests metrics for multiple preselected namespaces, including AWS CodeBuild. You can view metrics for each service instance, split metrics into multiple dimensions, and create custom charts that you can pin to your dashboards.

Prerequisites

To enable monitoring for this service, you need

an Environment or Cluster ActiveGate version 1.197+
Dynatrace version 1.201+
An updated AWS monitoring policy to include the additional AWS services.
To update the AWS IAM policy, use the JSON below.

Add the service to monitoring

In order to view the service metrics, you must add the service to monitoring in your Dynatrace environment.

To add a service to monitoring

Go to Settings > Cloud and virtualization and select AWS.
On the AWS overview page, scroll down and select the desired AWS instance. Select the Edit button.
Scroll down and select Add service. Choose the service name from the drop-down and select Add service.
Select Save changes.

Configure service metrics

Once you add a service, Dynatrace starts automatically collecting a suite of metrics for this particular service. These are recommended metrics.

Recommended metrics:

Are enabled by default
Can't be disabled
Can have recommended dimensions (enabled by default, can't be disabled)
Can have optional dimensions (disabled by default, can be enabled)

Apart from the recommended metrics, most services have the possibility of enabling optional metrics.

Optional metrics:

Can be added and configured manually

To add and configure metrics

Go to Settings > Cloud and virtualization and select AWS.
On the AWS overview page, scroll down and select the desired AWS instance. Select the Edit button.
Scroll down to the Supporting services section and select Manage services.
To add a metric, select the service for which you want to add metrics.
Select Add metric.
From the menu, select the metric you want.
Select Add metric to add the metric to monitoring.
To configure a metric, select the Edit button associated to it.
Select Apply to save your configuration.

Import preset dashboards

Dynatrace provides preset AWS dashboards that you can import from GitHub to your environment's dashboard page. Once you download a preset dashboard locally, there are two ways to import it.

Import via Dynatrace web UI

On your Dynatrace dashboard page, select Edit and switch to Settings.
Select Advanced settings.
On the Dashboard settings menu, select Dashboard JSON.
Use Upload to choose and upload the dashboard JSON file that you want to import.

Import via Dynatrace API

Create an API token.
When creating the token, enable the Write configuration permission.
To import the dashboard, run the command below, replacing {DYNATRACE_HOST}, {DYNATRACE_TENANT}, {TOKEN}, and {PATH_TO_DASHBOARD} with your own values.

curl --location --request POST 'http://{DYNATRACE_HOST}/e/{DYNATRACE_TENANT}/api/config/v1/dashboards' \
--header 'Authorization: Api-Token {TOKEN}' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--data-binary '{PATH_TO_DASHBOARD}'

For more information, see Dashboards API - POST a dashboard
