OneAgent extension update load wait time

kapilv — Thu, 06 Jul 2023 06:26:03 GMT

Hello,

I am building OneAgent python based extension . regarding Dynatrace plugin upload interval. wondering how new plugin version loading work? i have seen that wait time for 'new plugin/extension version to get into effect' is uncertain. sometime it happens quick sometime it takes more time ( so far seen as 20-30 minutes). is there way to control this behavior?

Thanks in advance.

What extension framework version are you using? Can you tell me some more about your environment such as number of hosts?

Once you place the extension files on the OneAgent the plugin module should restart directly and pick it up within a minute or two as long as the version in the plugin.json is updated. Or do you mean updating the extension on the UI with other settings? If so the OneAgent only gets the new settings once you hit the update button.
