Create OneAgent custom plugin / extension : fail to command line upload on Cluster

gilles_tabary — Tue, 15 Nov 2022 08:53:49 GMT

Hello.

Based on https://www.dynatrace.com/support/help/extend-dynatrace/extensions/oneagent-extensions/oneagent-extensions-hands-on I built, uploaded manually on cluster, and deployed on a sand box OneAgent my custom extension. Fine.

Now I am trying to upload the extension on the cluster through command line as documented on https://www.dynatrace.com/support/help/extend-dynatrace/extensions/oneagent-extensions/oneagent-extensions-hands-on#upload-your-extension

It says : plugin_sdk upload_plugin --plugin_zip... --server ...

But :

what is supposed to be --server option value ? I cannot find this.
I guessed /api/v1/remoteplugins but I cannot find API tester for this : where is it ?
when I try to run the plugin_sdk upload_plugin --plugin_zip /tmp/custom.python.my_plugin.zip ... I get a :

server https://xxx.xxx.xxx/e/<env_id>/api/v1/remoteplugins/ returned status code: 400 {"error":{"code":400,"message":"Plugin *.zip file name should match plugin id."}}

and I cannot make sens of this.

Does any one know how to command line upload a OneAgent custom extension ?

Regards.

BTW, plugin_sdk upload_plugin tell me

Please execute oneagent_verify_plugin before upload to validate plugin.json against the schema

which

I did : oneagent_verify_plugin => Plugin custom.python.myplugin is valid
I also did : plugin_sdk verify_plugin => also says ok, and looks like it is the same command

Also FYI :

my plugin.json file says

{ "name": "custom.python.my_plugin",

and my plugin file is

/tmp/custom.python.my_plugin.zip

I am puzzled.

The problem is you are uploading a OneAgent extension but have /api/v1/remoteplugin at the end of the server URL, which is for AG extensions. For oneagent extensions it is /api/v1/plugins.

But you can leave out the API Endpoint and enter the server as https://XXXXXX.live.dynatrace.com/ or https://xxx.xxx.xxx/e/env_id/ and it will pick the correct API endpoint depending on if you are building an activegate or oneagent extension.

Hello.

Shouldn't it be someone different to set an answer as a solution ? 🙂

At least in my case this is not the solution :

plugin_sdk upload_plugin --plugin_zip custom.python.my_oneagent_plugin.zip --server https://my.dynatrace.server/e/<env_id>/ --token dt0c01.... The server endpoint https://my.dynatrace.server/e/<env_id>/ is not designed for plugin upload plugin_sdk upload_plugin --plugin_zip custom.python.my_oneagent_plugin.zip --server https://my.dynatrace.server/ --token dt0c01.... The server endpoint https://my.dynatrace.server/ is not designed for plugin upload

At last :

plugin_sdk upload_plugin --plugin_zip custom.python.my_oneagent_plugin.zip --server https://my.dynatrace.server/e/<env_id>/api/v1/plugins --token dt0c01.... Attempting to send plugin to server https://my.dynatrace.server/e/<env_id>/api/v1/plugins plugin has been uploaded successfully

If you set it with --server you need to add the correct API endpoint.

Or you can just leave out the --server all together and enter it as mentioned above when prompted, that will select the correct endpoint then.

Not functionning in my case :

plugin_sdk upload_plugin --plugin_zip custom.python.my_oneagent_plugin.zip --token dt0c01.... File: /etc/init.d/dynatracefunctions not found - Remote Plugin Module is detected Could not read file /var/lib/dynatrace/oneagent/agent/config/plugin_sdk.conf: No such file or directory - Neither OneAgent nor Remote Plugin Module is detected server upload endpoint is missing

Looks like plugin_sdk upload_plugin needs the --server parameter.

So for a oneagent plugin you'd have to use:

plugin_sdk upload_plugin --server https://XXXXXX.live.dynatrace.com/api/v1/plugins -t dt0c01.XXX.XXX

Or you can do it without the --server when building the plugin which would query:

oneagent_build_plugin -t dt0c01.XXX.XXX ... ... Enter server address, exemplary address: https://demo.dev.dynatracelabs.com, or for managed include the tenant ID in the path: https://latest.managed-dev.dynalabs.io/e/5c6cf54c-5fe3-47e8-af18-54439090370b:
