Vaults (eg. Hashicorp, CyberArk) in Dynatrace extensions

[AntonioSousa]

Dynatrace supports using some vaults within synthetic monitoring. There are also some Product Ideas around improving vault usage across the Dynatrace platform.

As an extension developer, this week I was asked to integrate one of our extensions with authentication information that is available in a vault. This is an interesting use-case, because the password that was being used in the extension expired, and it had been "forgotten", and so the user was being rendered useless 🤣 in other applications...

Now, before I deep dive into some not so good integration, have other extension developers tackled this issue?

Hi @AntonioSousa,

I am happy to announce that the integration between Extension Framework 2.0 and external credential vaults is not only planned but we are working on it, as we speak. 

Have a great week,

Lukasz

Hi @Lukasz_Be,

One of our big customers needs also the Dynatrace Cyberark integration for synthetic monitors. We are very excited to hear that your are already working on it. 

I didn't find anything on your Dynatrace technology support roadmap. Is there already an estimated date for the integration or a page to your roadmap? 

Best, 

Stanisław

We are waiting for this feature as well. I see integrations for 2 types of vaults but not for Cyberark.

Hi @stanislaw_radzi & @travis_anderson,

CyberArk is in scope of our current development.

Best Regards,

Lukasz

Hi @Lukasz_Be,

that's great news! Is there already a timeline when we can expect CyberArk integration?

Thanks,

Hello @Lukasz_Be ,

Can you please confirm that not only external vault but also the internal Dynatrace Credential Vault is in scope of your planned work?

My team also has this use-case of providing credentials to various extensions configurations and it would be useful to use the integrated Dynatrace Vault. So far, the Credential Vault API is only usable in the scope of Synthetic Monitors.

Regards,
Adrian
