Integration Dynatrace with DX UIM

[Miller Echagarreta]

Hi Everyone...

I need to integrate Dynatrace with DX UIM, right now i need extract the metrics and alarms from dynatrace to bring to board in dashboard at dx uim.

Any sugerence ?

Hi Miller,

You can consider RESTMON probe for ingesting metrics if Dynatrace is exposing them over REST APIs. You can use UIMAPI for ingesting alarms, UIMAPI is a REST API that supports various CRUD operations on Alarms and other objects.

I recommend leveraging DX OI for Dynatrace or any other 3rd party integration

Ashish, is a good idea, but the customer don't have DX OI, maybe in the long term, for the moment we need to solve it somehow and get the integration.

Hello Rajesh, do you have any example of .jason for dynatrace, or any other that can help us as a guide?

I tried searching this "logstash_schema.json" according to documentation, but not found it

Hi Miller,

We don't have restmon schema for dynatrace in UIM. But we have logstash and other sample schemas available in Web Archive. Perform search using restmon-sample-schemas in search bar. Download the zip file and extract it, you will find logstash_schema.json and some other sample schemas.

Hi @Rajesh Banuka 

I've been validating the restmon api and see that I can generate alerts from the metrics collection. But... how can I get the alarms generated from dynatrace? Example: APM-broadcom we send traps_snmp towards UIM. But dynatrace does not have the ability to send traps to other systems, such as UIM.

 

Any idea ?

Hi Miller,

Currently UIM RESTMON doesn't support retrieving alarms from other systems. Please see if you can use UIMAPI to insert dynatrace alarms into UIM.
