We want to create a plugin with the Dynatrace SDK that executes a command in unix or Windows. I found out that this is not working when we upload the plugin to the server. In the simulator it works fine
output = subprocess.check_output
or for example or with
cmd = somethind_to_execute<br>result_code = os.system(cmd)
What can we do to exectue a command in the plugin?
Can you elaborate what’s exactly is not working? Did you put your plugin in plugin_deployment folder? Can you provide us with plugin log files?
ok i found out thate generally subprocess it is working. My problem was that the user that executes the simulator ist “root” and the user that executes the plugin ist “dtuser”. This was missing in the documentation and made the plguin running in the sumulator but not at the server. Is ist possible to run the plugin as root?
Due to security constraints all the plugins are executed with dtuser permissions. Indeed it’d might be good to indicate that in plugin sdk documentation explicitly. Currently it’s only mentioned in
Hi @kay_koedel1 how are you ?. Can you resolved executes the plugin ? I need a solution like this for run commands on OS LINUX, AIX and Windows.
