Hi everyone,
I am working for the first time with the LDAP Synthetic extension in SaaS. I saw some things that seem to be strange to me and I wanted to check if someone else has faced this.
When I create a configuration in the extension it creates a Synthetic monitor with the name defined in the extension. This monitor is visible in both the classic and new Synthetic apps. I am facing some issues though:
1) When I update the configuration in the extension this creates a new monitor on top of the already created one, which ends up in having more than one Synthetic LDAP monitor with the same name. If the configuration was initially failing the monitor associated with it shows failed status, while the new one, created upon changing the configuration shows OK status. I think Dynatrace should find a way to merge them (what I mean is that it updates the initially created monitor instead of creating a new one ontop of it).
2) When you need to remove a monitor (for example because of the duplication mentioned above) you are unable to do this via the new Synthetic app (it shows the following error: An error occurred while removing the monitors: Constraints violated.) If I try removing them from Synthetic classic it works like a charm.
3) Removing a configuration from the extension does not delete the associated Synthetic monitor.
Has anyone had such an experience?
All the best,
