Take the 2022 Rewind Challenge! 🥇‌

2 Highlights I would like to say are,

1. I bought Apple products for the first time, including iPhone (Optimus Prime), iPad Pro (Brownie), iWatch (Pikachu), AirPods Pro (Akamaru), MacBook Pro (Naruto) and PS5 and Galaxy S22 Ultra (Hope 2.0), not to forget. It was one of the best years of my life in purchasing gadgets.

2. I made friends with a fantastic person and felt good. Being an introvert, it is a great deal for us when we make new friends, and they’re trustworthy.

So many things happened in the community while I was enjoying a 3-week holiday at the coast, so I’m late to the party but here goes…both are personal accomplishments:

  1. Finishing IM 70.3 Mossel Bay , as my 1st ever triathlon event, and after only 2 months of swimming lessons and training :sweat_smile:
  2. Completing the 94.7 Ride Joburg road cycling race in a sub-4 hour time, 2 weeks after completing the IM 70.3 event

From a Dynatrace perspective, it was pretty much a business-as-usual year for me, so no specific events or achievements to mention - perhaps 2023 will have more excitement in store for me! :dynatrace:

In 2022 I was certified Dynatrace Professional and explored the extensions magic world ! Can’t wait for 2023 with Grail :slightly_smiling_face: :dynatrace:

Nice to see a fellow extension fan! Anything specifically cool that you created?

@Mike_L,

Your question made me remember a thread that I once maintained updated: https://community.dynatrace.com/t5/Dynatrace-tips/Activegate-Extensions/m-p/113705

But, since Dynatrace Hub is here, that list is of course not that important, and I have not updated it for almost a year now… But, there are still extensions that won’t make to the Hub, so…

Wouldn’t it be great if had another directory of “cool” extensions, or simply examples out there integrating with Dynatrace?

Many of the ones in that list is already on the hub actually. My team has added close to 100 of the tiles on the hub, so that is going to be our main communication channel.

Partners can also add extensions to the hub if they commit to supporting it. As for unsupported extensions I’d try to stay away from that if I were our large enterprise customers.

Hi @Mike_L !

I tried different thing with WMI like retrieve Windows Event Log (when there is not a OneAgent) or Screen resolution :slightly_smiling_face:
But sadly WMI does not provide provide flexibility like powershell or python. So I still use several V1 extension like Custom DB Query, File System Monitoring, Synthetic Port, Generic Command Plugin :

SMTP_Check, powershell -File “C:\Program Files\dynatrace\oneagent\plugin_deployment\smtp-test.ps1”
WU_Status, powershell “if ((get-itemproperty -Path ‘HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion’).ProductName -eq ‘Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard’){(Get-ItemProperty -Path ‘HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\WindowsUpdate\Auto Update’).AUOptions}else{(Get-ItemProperty -Path ‘HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate\AU’).NoAutoUpdate}”
Extranet_Check, powershell “if((Test-NetConnection extranet.xxxx.fr -Port 443 -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue -WarningAction SilentlyContinue).TcpTestSucceeded){Write-Output 1}else{Write-Output 0}”
BDD_Check, powershell “if((Test-NetConnection 10.10.20.2 -Port 1433 -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue -WarningAction SilentlyContinue).TcpTestSucceeded){Write-Output 1}else{Write-Output 0}”

Do you know when we will be able to migrate this V1 extension to V2?

There will be communication coming out on that somewhere in the next 6 months. Keep an eye on the blogs.
