Custom devices import

Custom devices import

Since v1.2.1 we added support for custom devices import , starting with Nagios devices monitored using our Dynatrace Nagios Integration (we could cover also Dynatrace Zabbix Integration and/or custom devices made by other extensions).

Dynatrace Nagios Integration is required to be installed in you Dynatrace instance

Required configuration changes

Version v1.2.1 is the first version to require additional Dynatrace token scope

  • Read entities (API v2)

It’s used to fetch custom devices through Monitored entities V2 API.

Import configuration

We made greenfield start with fresh newly created schema as easy a it was before. Create predefined schema and Create predefined mappings options generate new schema together with custom device CI types and source objects mapping to their attributes.

Existing schema

In case you are using our extension for a while, custom device CI types and mappings have to be created manually in order to import them →

  1. CI Types that have to be created:

    • Custom Device Group

      • Nagios Group

    • Custom Device

      • Nagios

Schema could look like this:
