automate system profile configuration (agent groups, sensor configuration, incidents, ...) #30
Comments
Hi Johannes, On the other hand I came up with some workarounds through what's called a "fastpack". It's basically a plugin that contains a profile (as XML), dashboards, etc.. These fastpacks can be deployed via REST. The drawback is that it will always overwrite the server side profile, so maintenance of the profile (settings, sensors, BTs, ...) is done completely offline.
If you need a starting point how to build a fastpack you can take a look at my integration for SAP Hybris. Hope that helps a bit, |
Hi Reinhard, thanks for the interesting idea with the fastpack. Although I am not sure if we can implement all our requirements with it. Let me shortly explain what we want to do:
I think these things can be implementend in the chef server cookbook. However, there are other configurations which are more dynamic and change with every environment or application/agent that gets monitored. We add a system profile for every specific application environment and maybe also agent groups, Incidents, Measures, Dashboards for every specific application. Our vision is that with the deployment of any new or existing application in our WildFly/WebSphere/Whatever environment those configuration gets automatically added to the dynatrace server. We have everything automated in our application platform, but for every application someone needs to do some clicks in the dynatrace server to get the application monitored, which is simply not state of the art anymore. And I think those things can't be done with the pipeline you mentioned. What do you think? |
Hi Johannes, Too bad I can't help any further :-( Reinhard |
btw. sensor packs can be deployed via fastpacks as well, so those are global changes to the server that can be pipelined that way. |
I would like to automate also the system profile creation and configuration. I didn't find any idempotent API (rest, cli, ..) I can use for this. Did I miss something or is that simply not possible now? Are there plans to provide an API for that? I would certainly participate in this project if I was able to use such an API.
best regards,
Johannes
