Extensions 2.0 alert mapping

Platform Extensions
1

Hi,

So I am working on an extension that sends an alert based on the result of a powershell script. Now, if I wanted to create object/classes and then bind the alert to those, how would I go about doing that? For example, I run a powershell script that checks something on an sql server, is there a way to identify that sql server that isn’t through the entity selector?

Thanks,

Hi,

If you use metric scripting integration it is comes with OneAgent, already pointing to your host.

You can use metric line enrichment for this.

Option 1: If you know the process id of the process and you add, for example, dt.process.pid=12345 to the metric line it will automatically be exchanged for dt.entity.process_group_instance=PROCESS_GROUP_INSTANCE-D337020E5CAE4F0F,dt.entity.process_group=PROCESS_GROUP-D337020E5CAE4F0D.

Option 2: If you know the tech rule of the process (Process group detection — Dynatrace Docs) and you add, for example, dt.techrule.id=zoomtech as a dimension, it will automatically be exchanged for the above entity dimensions.
