Use REST call to publish results as Dynatrace metrics

dramacher — Thu, 07 Sep 2023 07:00:04 GMT

Similar to "custom/generic database query" we are looking for a plug-in that allows us to make REST calls and store the result as custom metric in dynatrace.

Is there a tool available to do so. The query should run every minute to create useful metrics over time.

Hi,

There are a few ways to do that.

Extensions and Scripting integration
Extensions SDK 1.0
You can write your own script/simple app and use REST API

See also other ways to extend Dynatrace.

Best regards,

Mateusz

The challenge is nit the Rest API but the fact that the endpoint called is providing ODATA 4.0 response that has to be parsed and converted into a metric. It does not seem there is any out-of-the-box solution that supports that within synthetic scripts.
