Hi, How to use dynatrace without one agent? By only adding extension Thank you

[@littleslawyoutubechannel]

Dynatrace primarily relies on its OneAgent technology to provide comprehensive monitoring and analysis of applications and infrastructure. However, you can extend Dynatrace functionality by developing custom extensions. Here’s a general guide on how to use Dynatrace without OneAgent and by only adding an extension: 1. Understand Extension Development: Familiarize yourself with Dynatrace extension development. Extensions are typically created to collect specific metrics or data from custom sources not covered by OneAgent. 2. Develop the Extension: Write the code for your extension. You can use various programming languages like Python, Java, or Go, depending on your preference and the nature of the data source you want to monitor. 3. Define Metrics: Define the metrics you want to collect and monitor. This could include application-specific metrics, server performance data, or any other relevant information for your monitoring needs. 4. Implement Communication: Implement the communication between your extension and Dynatrace. This usually involves using Dynatrace APIs or SDKs to send collected metrics to the Dynatrace platform. 5. Install the Extension: Install your custom extension on the systems or servers where you want to collect data. Ensure that the necessary permissions and configurations are set up correctly. 6. Configure Dynatrace: Configure Dynatrace to recognize and process the metrics sent by your extension. This may involve creating custom dashboards, alerts, or other monitoring configurations within the Dynatrace platform. 7. Monitor and Analyze: Once everything is set up, monitor and analyze the collected data using the Dynatrace platform. Utilize the available features and tools to gain insights into the performance and health of your applications and infrastructure. 8. Maintenance and Optimization: Regularly maintain and optimize your extension and monitoring setup as needed. Update the extension code, refine metrics collection, and adjust configurations based on changing requirements or conditions. Keep in mind that while using extensions can extend Dynatrace’s monitoring capabilities, they may not offer the same level of depth and integration as the native OneAgent solution. Evaluate your requirements carefully to determine the best approach for your monitoring needs.
