Dynatrace APM Plugin
To integrate with Dynatrace you can install and configure a plugin on your Dynatrace server, then set up a rule in Dynatrace to forward incidents to the plugin.
The Dynatrace APM Plugin integration does not require authentication. The integration listens without requiring password information.
When you use the integrations UI, you can only configure the visible properties. If you want to implement a more complex Dynatrace APM Plugin LAM with custom settings, see Configure the Dynatrace APM Plugin LAM.
See the Dynatrace documentation for details on Dynatrace components.
Before You Begin
The Dynatrace APM Plugin integration has been validated with Dynatrace APM v 6.5 and v. 7.0. Before you start to set up your integration, ensure you have met the following requirements:
You have an active Dynatrace account.
You have the necessary permissions to install and configure a plugin in Dynatrace.
You know the path to your Dynatrace installation, for example
C:\Program Files\Dynatrace\Dynatrace<version>\server.You have the necessary permissions to edit incident rules in Dynatrace.
Dynatrace can make requests to external endpoints over port 443.
