ActiveGate extension upload error: UI keyMetrics section: key refers to a non-existent timeseries

CedM — Tue, 20 Aug 2024 07:56:26 GMT

Hello there, i have created an Activegate extension using SDK version 1.275. when executing the `verify_plugin` command, no issue is reported and the `simulate_plugin` does not give errors either. issue is when I'm trying to upload the extension, I'm getting following error: `UI keyMetrics section: key refers to a non-existent timeseries (sendgrid.delivered)`

Below sample of my `plugin.json` file built using Extension JSON explained | Dynatrace Docs:

"ui": { "keymetrics": [ { "key": "sendgrid.delivered", "aggregation": "max", "mergeaggregation": "sum", "displayname": "Delivered emails" } ], "keycharts": [ { "group": "API status", "title": "State", "series": [ { "key": "sendgrid.api.connection", "displayname": "SendGrid API Connection Status", "seriestype": "bar", "statecolors": ["#ff3333", "#ffd633", "#00b33c"], "statechart": true } ] }, { "group": "SendGrid", "title": "Delivered emails", "series": [ { "key": "sendgrid.delivered", "displayname": "Delivered emails", "seriestype": "line", "statecolors": ["#ff3333"], "statechart": true } ] } ], "charts": [ { "group": "SendGrid", "title": "Delivered emails", "series": [ { "key": "sendgrid.delivered", "displayname": "Delivered emails", "seriestype": "line", "color": "#74cff7", "metricexplanation": "The number of emails SendGrid was able to confirm were actually delivered to a recipient." } ] } ] }, "metrics": [ { "statetimeseries": { "key": "sendgrid.api.connection", "states": ["DOWNTIME", "MAINTENANCE", "WORKING"], "displayname": "Sendgrid API Connection" }, "entity": "CUSTOM_DEVICE" }, { "timeseries": { "key": "sendgrid.delivered", "unit": "Count", "displayname": "Delivered emails", "aggregation": "SUM" }, "entity": "CUSTOM_DEVICE" } ],

Thanks for your help.

Regards,
Cedric

I tried recreating this using your snippets in a full plugin.json file but I am not getting any errors. See below which uploads without any validation errors.

Could you share your full plugin.json file?

{ "name":"custom.remote.python.example", "version":"1.19", "productiveMinVersion":"1.000", "type":"python", "entity":"CUSTOM_DEVICE", "metricGroup":"tech.Example_Service", "technologies":[ "EXAMPLE_SERVICE" ], "source":{ "package":"demo_activegate_plugin_multi", "className":"RemoteExamplePlugin", "install_requires":[ "requests>=2.6.0" ], "activation":"Remote" }, "ui":{ "keymetrics":[ { "key":"sendgrid.delivered", "aggregation":"max", "mergeaggregation":"sum", "displayname":"Delivered emails" } ] }, "metrics":[ { "timeseries":{ "key":"sendgrid.delivered", "unit":"Count", "displayname":"Delivered emails", "aggregation":"SUM" }, "entity":"CUSTOM_DEVICE" } ], "properties":[ { "key":"url", "type":"String" } ] }

Hello,
I've finally found where the issue was. And sorry for now posting the complete code.
In the keychar section, sendgrid.delivery key had some properties that are used for statetimeseries following a copy/paste.
After changing statecolorsto colorand removing statechartproperties, i was able to upload the plugin.
Marking this post as resolved.

                "group": "SendGrid",
                "title": "Delivered emails",
                "series": [
                    {
                        "key": "sendgrid.delivered",
                        "displayname": "Delivered emails",
                        "seriestype": "line",
                        "statecolors": ["#ff3333"],
                        "statechart": true
                    }
                ]
            }
