Extensions 2.0 lifecycle
You can manage your extension through Dynatrace Hub or Dynatrace API.
Required permission: Change monitoring settings
Upload custom extension
- In the Dynatrace menu, go to Extensions.
- Scroll to the bottom of the page and select Upload custom Extension 2.0.
Select your extension archive (or drag and drop it) and upload it to Dynatrace. Dynatrace Hub verifies the extension archive and structure and automatically enables it after a successful upload.
Most fields are pre-filled based on the extension YAML file. You can provide release notes information explaining why the extension version changed.
Deploy extension from Dynatrace Hub
- In the Dynatrace menu, go to Extensions.
- Find the extension tile in the Dynatrace Extensions 2.0 you can add to your environment section.
- Select the tile, then select Add to environment.
Define devices
Select Add device to define the devices from which you want to pull data and provide the device connection details:
IP address or device name
Port
SNMP version and related authentication details
Start monitoring
Your extension appears in Dynatrace Hub. The next step is to provide the monitoring configuration for your extension. The detailed steps depend on your extension data source. For more information, see:
Update extension
To update an extension, simply upload a new version. Dynatrace Hub will automatically activate the new extension version.
Delete extension version
You can use the extension page to delete extension versions. When you delete a version, Dynatrace Hub activates the latest available version. To delete an extension completely, you need to delete all of the available versions.
