Hi Everyone,

I’m configuring an&nbsp; Generic DB Query Plugin extension to monitor some querys. After filling up the required information, I attempted to connect, but it threw an uninitialized state. What could be causing this anomaly?

Additionally, I tried to configure it using the new extension but the documentation is a bit confusing to follow, could you please guide me if anyone has managed to configure it?

Thanks in advance

Hi,

I would recommend to start with the VSCode Plugin&nbsp;[https://developer.dynatrace.com/extensions-v2/dynatrace-extensions-vscode/guides/getting-started/](https://developer.dynatrace.com/extensions-v2/dynatrace-extensions-vscode/guides/getting-started/)

And adapt this basic examples.

Don’t forget to upload the root certificate to your Activegate.&nbsp;[Sign extensions — Dynatrace Docs](https://docs.dynatrace.com/docs/shortlink/sign-extension#remote-extensions)
