Plugin or extension - clarification needed

roopeshs — Thu, 18 May 2023 12:25:00 GMT

Hi,

I want to create my own plugin or extension to get the perf mon or wmi data from few remote computers. I am reading this below link:

https://www.dynatrace.com/support/help/extend-dynatrace/extensions20/wmi-extensions/

In that they have mentioned:

"When you have your initial extension YAML ready, package it, sign it, and upload it to your Dynatrace environment. For details, see Manage extension lifecyle".

But I don't see any document which will guide us how to package the YAML file. Can someone please help me to understand it.

for me it seems that you have to manually create zip file:
my-custom-extension.zip
│ extension.zip
│ extension.zip.sig

where extension.zip will contain yaml file (and zip.sig should be created according to sign-extension info):
extension.zip
│ extension.yaml
│
└───alerts
│ | alert.json
│
└───dashboards
│ dashboard.json
