Hello,

I assume that these kind of extensions are only for Dynatrace,  or else where is the documentation (-;

Hey Henk,

That’s correct, at least for now they are only for Dynatrace. This as we require the extensions to be signed with the Dynatrace certificate due to security concerns of auto distributing python code which didn’t go through an extensive security pipeline. If/when that changes we’ll announce it with a blog post.

Do we currently know what the timeline/perspective is to use the Python SDK for Extensions 2.0.?
This topic was brought up by a customer of mine during a meeting today. Thanks in advance!

More information will be shared in the next few months.

Any updates on this? We have scripts we would like to deploy. We are kind of back against the wall at this point.

It is still planned, but we don’t have a timeline that we can communicate yet. The blog post is currently planned for the next quarter.

I would also like this feature!

Hi @Mike_L ! Any updates on this? 
Also, wouldnt the security be kept by using the signing process which is used on the other Extension 2.0 plugins?

The messaging should go out in the next few weeks.

From a security point of view there is quite a large difference between using the Dynatrace infrastructure to distribute configuration, and using it to distribute any code.
