Deploying Extension 2.0 from Sandbox to Non-Production Environment

kpurimitla — Wed, 25 Sep 2024 17:54:23 GMT

Hi everyone,

I have developed a Dynatrace Extension 2.0 using Python for a sandbox environment. I now need to deploy the same extension bundle in a non-production environment. Is it possible to run the same extension bundle in a non-production environment, or are there specific limitations or restrictions when transitioning from a sandbox to non-production?

If it’s not directly possible, what would be the recommended steps or solutions to successfully upload and run the sandbox bundle in a non-production environment?

Thanks in advance for your help!

Hey Kpurimitla, I don't believe there are any such restrictions, they should be able to be run in any environment as long as they have the right certificates stored in the credential vault.

Additionally don't forget the certificate must be present also at OneAgent or ActiveGate depending on the extension type or configuration. See more here https://docs.dynatrace.com/docs/shortlink/sign-extension#upload There is also no need to do this for JMX extensions. OneAgent or ActiveGate do not need to be restarted.

Thank you Fin_Ubels & Julius_Loman for your replies! Your points are absolutely valid. I appreciate the reminder about the certificate requirement for OneAgent or ActiveGate, depending on the extension type and configuration. I’ll be sure to check that as I proceed with the deployment.

Thanks again for your help in clarifying my doubt!
