Extensions 1.0

Dynatrace Extension Framework 1.0 is deprecated. It's time to move to the Extensions Framework 2.0. Support for EF1.0 Python extensions will be removed in October 2024.

  • Python custom extensions: migration has been publicly available since March 2024. These will be disabled in October 2024. For details on converting your extensions, see Python 1.0 Conversion.

  • JMX extensions: migration has been available since Oct 2023. If you plan to use JMX EF1.0 extensions beyond October 2024 please contact us. For details on the conversion tool, see JMX 1.0 Conversion.

  • PMI extensions: support for PMI will be migrated to Extension Framework 2.0. Until it's completed, current version of PMI extension is functioning.

  • OneAgent and ActiveGate extensions:

    • Dynatrace: most technologies have a migration path to Extension Framework 2.0. Check Hub for availability.
    • Custom: migration available for partners Jan 2024, publicly Mar 2024

  • Some technologies will be available on-demand or deprecated (details below).

    • Deprecated: Hikari, Netflix OSS, Apache HTTP Server Workers, PowerDNS, AWS Managed Prometheus, Apache Cassandra (remote), Apache Storm, Generic Linux Commands, IBM Event Streams, Synthetic checks (LDAP, DNS, ping, port, SSH, SFTP), ActiveDirectory replication, Siebel, SolarWinds, Windows Server File System Quotas, Zabbix
Deprecated

The documentation below applies to Dynatrace Extension Framework 1.0, which is deprecated.

  • If you’re able to install OneAgent, you should use OneAgent extensions.
  • If you cannot install OneAgent (for example, if you need to monitor a remote technology), you should use ActiveGate extensions.
  • If you simply want to monitor a Java application that exposes MBeans, use JMX/PMI extensions.

OneAgent extensions

With OneAgent extensions, you can extend OneAgent monitoring to any OneAgent-detected processes that expose an interface (for example, processes that are served over HTTP—databases, applications, and load balancers). Extensions run within a OneAgent and fully integrate new-technology monitoring into Dynatrace Smartscape and problem detection. You need some Python expertise to develop OneAgent extensions. For more information, see OneAgent extensions.

ActiveGate extensions

With ActiveGate extensions, you can extend Dynatrace monitoring to any remote technology that exposes an interface, where OneAgent installation isn't an option. For example, PaaS technologies, network devices, or cloud technologies. ActiveGate extensions (aka Remote Plugins) are executed on ActiveGate and can acquire metrics and topology from remote sources, fully integrating new-technology monitoring into Dynatrace Smartscape and problem detection. You need some Python expertise to develop ActiveGate extensions. For more information, see Introduction to ActiveGate extensions.

Extension SDK

The Extension SDK is a versatile solution that enables you to monitor any custom technology that exposes an interface. Develop and deploy your extensions. Dynatrace can seamlessly integrate your custom-technology monitoring data into relevant analysis views, taking full advantage of all your favorite Dynatrace features and AI-driven root cause analysis.

EF1.0 to EF2.0 extension migration
