Does anybody have experience in API Connect monitoring with Dynatrace?, or know if its possible?. I can´t find any official reference.

Thanks in advance

I think IBM has to start working with dynatrace in the same way that AWS is about preparing solution for this. For now still there is no possibility for such monitoring as I know.

Hi @sebastian k.

Question is there an intention, from dynatrace side, to build active gate plugin , as built for IBM DataPower for example

Also interested in the monitoring of API Connect.

I noticed in the following article: https://www.dynatrace.com/news/blog/improved-error-handling-for-ibm-integration-bus-iib-message-flows/ that the next steps is the support for IBM Application Connect 11. What does this entail? When will this be available?

AG plugin will provide you only metrics, not transactions. This is why I've said what I've said 🙂

We have tried IBM API Connect analytics api to collect the all API calls and specific metrics of API's like errors, response time, throughput, etc using Activegate extension.

Hi @Yos,

We tried the below event analytics api to collect the API details like response time, status code, api name, URI path, Productname, HTTP method etc.

https://<apic analytics server>/v1/orgs/api/environments/xxxx/events

Then we have created the below metrics in dynatrace using activate extension with dimensions API name, Http method, status code.

TimeToServeRequest
StatusCodeCount
NumberOfApiCalls
FailureRate
FailureCodeCount

Every minute this extension execute rest call to APIC analytics servers and collect these metrics details. So we create the dashboard as per requirement to analyze respective api calls and generate the custom events.
