Getting started with building Synthetic Monitoring Plugin

[rswarnka]

Hi, I need to build a custom ActiveGate plugin to monitor the URLs. What are my options to get started?

Take you hands-on here: https://www.dynatrace.com/support/help/extend-dynatrace/plugins/activegate-plugins/introduction/writ...

There are plugin examples that you can start with.

And I guess here's the API you want to consume with plugin:

Can't you use HTTP monitors? Which protocol do you want to support?

We are trying to poll applications behind SAMLv2 SSO. Also, customer is expecting to avoid DEM consumption.
