Have following question on listed Apigee-X extention
Q1: First extension “Apigee-Remotely monitor your apigee extension” my initial thought was this extension may obsolete in future (due to name) ? but later the product information indicates the Release of 3.0.2 in May of this year and looks like Dynatrace is releasing updates every 2 or 3 months. Hence assuming that this will continue in future ?
Q2: Second extension “Google Apigee” was named as latest apigee-X in Google hence thought this will be right one to monitor apigee-x proxy instead of first one above.
Q3: Saw similarity between both extensions, but was not sure, which one supports a larger dictionary of metrics for apigee-x proxies ?
Q4 : Which one is the latest and what is its life (we should not install an extension that will become obsolete in future.
Q5: Listed link for Dynatrace agent (I believe this is not a extension ?)
https://docs.dynatrace.com/docs/setup-and-configuration/setup-on-cloud-platforms/google-cloud-platfo...
A. Docs for agent indicates that agent used for apigee-X proxy monitoring? If above two extensions listed can collect metrics from apigee-x proxies then when i need Dynatrace agent ? ( with above listed agent in which use case) ? or can avoid Dynatrace agent , since extension 2.0 will do the monitoring of Apigee-X proxies ?
B If not then do we require this for Apigee-X proxy monitoring and we can still use only First and Second extension and avoid listed Dynatrace agent in which use case?
Q6: When we will require Dynatrace Agent because per listed link https://docs.dynatrace.com/docs/setup-and-configuration/setup-on-cloud-platforms/google-cloud-platfo... Per “Supported services for metrics & link Set up the Dynatrace Google Cloud log and metric integration on an existing GKE cluster - Dynatrace ... with section "Choose services for metrics monitoring" also lists to monitor Apigee-X proxies ?
“ also lists monitor health and performance of Apigee-X.
