ActiveGate extension upload error: UI keyMetrics section: key refers to a non-existent timeseries

[CedM]

Hello there, i have created an Activegate extension using SDK version 1.275. when executing the `verify_plugin` command, no issue is reported and the `simulate_plugin` does not give errors either. issue is when I'm trying to upload the extension, I'm getting following error: `UI keyMetrics section: key refers to a non-existent timeseries (sendgrid.delivered)`

Below sample of my `plugin.json` file built using Extension JSON explained | Dynatrace Docs:

I tried recreating this using your snippets in a full plugin.json file but I am not getting any errors. See below which uploads without any validation errors.

Could you share your full plugin.json file?

Hello, 
I've finally found where the issue was. And sorry for now posting the complete code. 
In the keychar section, sendgrid.delivery key had some properties that are used for statetimeseries following a copy/paste.
After changing statecolorsto colorand removing statechartproperties, i was able to upload the plugin.
Marking this post as resolved.
