Monitoring Ansible Tower

How can we monitor the Ansible Tower queues for stuck jobs and such? We heavily rely on Ansible for a number of tasks from all our systems but we are not monitoring that system very well currently. Is anyone doing this and can offer ideas?

Hi @Tim_Stewart
You or your team can create an extension to get metrics from your Ansible tool (if this tech has an interface) or maybe read logs or sending metrics/events to Dynatrace API.
