Custom python extension - migration from v1 to v2

[jannick_deturck]

In my v1 python extension I have a definition "initialize" that only will be executed during a first run, also referencing to a HealthcheckHost.json file

def initialize(self, **kwargs):

        #will only be executed during the first run.

        #capture parameters and save them in memmory

        script_dir = os.path.dirname(__file__)

        file_path = os.path.join(script_dir, "HealthcheckHosts.json")

        #read in parameters

        self.url = self.config["url"]

        self.hostpattern = self.config["hosts"]

        self.disableAlertBool = self.config["disableAllerting"]

        self.httpmethod = self.config["httpmethod"]

        self.rqmethod = self.config["requestmethod"]

        self.port = 9000        

        self.applicationcheckname = self.config["app"]

        splits = self.url.split('/')

        self.appextentionname = splits[1]

        self.warningSend = False

.......

Can somebody explain me where I need to put this definition in the new extension v2 structure????

That goes into the def initialize(self) function. If you use our vscode addon or the sdk to generate your project, it should automatically have that function as part of the template.
