Dynatrace Extensions Python SDK

The Dynatrace Extensions Python SDK provides you with a framework to ingest data into Dynatrace from any technology exposing an interface.

Custom-coded extensions are based on the same principles. They're declarative, similar to other data sources, but you use the provided methods to use extracted data to create metrics and events.

This SDK offers:

  • Greater flexibility to ingest the data from your proprietary technologies or when your case requires extended customization that available data sources don't offer.
  • Tooling to export your current OneAgent and ActiveGate extensions to the new framework.

Dynatrace Extensions Python SDK is publicly available with OneAgent 1.285.

Set the filesystem flag to exec and not noexec to ensure a Python extension runs correctly. This configuration is crucial because it allows the execution of binaries and scripts within the specified filesystem. The extension can't execute properly without this setting, leading to potential errors and failures.
