Monitoring the result of a database query

NicoleMT — Fri, 13 Mar 2026 13:51:31 GMT

Good afternoon community,

I was researching whether it is possible to monitor the result of a database query in Dynatrace, and I found that this might require creating a custom extension.

Could anyone share the steps or an example that could help me implement this?

I would also like to confirm if this is the only way to achieve it, or if there is another alternative within Dynatrace to obtain this type of information.

Thank you in advance for your help.

Hi, @NicoleMT

I had the same challenge few time ago...

And now, with the custom extension creator , things are really easier.

Basically, you will need to create a DB extension, set up your query to ingest metrics/logs into Dyantrace, and set up the monitoring you need.
