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).
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 →
CI Types that have to be created:
Custom Device Group
Nagios Group
Custom Device
Nagios
Schema could look like this:
Updated schema structure
Object types mappings
Custom Device Group
Selector
CUSTOM_DEVICE_GROUP
