Chaos Toolkit extension for Dynatrace

Release

Dynatrace support for the Chaos Toolkit.

Install

To be used from your experiment, this package must be installed in the Python environment where chaostoolkit already lives.

$ pip install chaostoolkit-dynatrace

Usage

To use this package, you must have access to a Dynatrace instance via DynatraceApi and be allowed to connect to it.

the access credentials to the api must be specified in the configuration section

{

    "configuration": {
        "dynatrace_base_url": "https://{your-environment-id}.live.dynatrace.com"
    },
    "secrets": {
        "dynatrace": {
            "token": "..."
        }
    }
}

Here is an example of how to get the failure rate of a service in Dynatrace. for this example, the api for validate de failure rate is Metric-v1

{
    "type": "probe",
    "name": "get-failure-rate-services",
    "provider": {
        "type": "python",
        "module": "chaosdynatrace.timeseries.v1.probes",
        "func": "failure_rate",
        "secrets": ["dynatrace"],
        "arguments": {
            "entity": "SERVICE-665B05BC92550119",
            "relative_time": "30mins",
            "failed_percentage": 1
        }
    }
}

The probe returns true if the api request failure percentage is less than the failed_percentage value or return false.

The extension also exports a control to send events to Dynatrace. For instance:

{
    "controls": [
        {
            "name": "dynatrace",
            "provider": {
                "type": "python",
                "secrets": ["dynatrace"],
                "module": "chaosdynatrace.events.v2.control"
            }
        }
    ]
}

This will send start/stop logs of the experiment events.

You can correlate them to traces using the Open Telemetry extension.

{
    "configuration": {
        "dynatrace_base_url": "https://{your-environment-id}.live.dynatrace.com",
        "tracing_provider": "opentelemetry",
        "tracing_opentelemetry_exporter": "oltp-http",
        "tracing_opentelemetry_collector_endpoint": "https://{your-environment-id}.live.dynatrace.com/api/v2/otlp/v1/traces",
        "tracing_opentelemetry_collector_headers": {
            "Authorization": "Api-Token <TOKEN>"
        }
    },
    "controls": [
        {
            "name": "opentracing",
            "provider": {
                "type": "python",
                "module": "chaostracing.control"
            }
        }
    ]

The logs and traces will be automatically correlated.

Develop

If you wish to develop on this project, make sure to install the development dependencies. But first, create a virtual environment and then install those dependencies.

$ pip install -r requirements-dev.txt -r requirements.txt 

Then, point your environment to this directory:

$ pip install -e .

Now, you can edit the files and they will be automatically be seen by your environment, even when running from the chaos command locally.
