Documentation

Prerequisites

AWS Management Console

To get started:

  1. Sign in to the AWS Management Console with your account and navigate to CloudFormation.

  2. Select "Public extensions" from the left hand pane and filter Publisher by "Third Party".

  3. Use the search bar to filter by the "Dynatrace" prefix.

Note: All official Dynatrace resources begin with Dynatrace:: and specify that they are Published by Dynatrace.

  1. Select the desired resource name to view more information about its schema, and click Activate.

  2. On the Extension details page, specify:

  • Extension name
  • Execution role ARN
  • Automatic updates for minor version releases
  • Configuration
  1. In your terminal, specify the configuration data for the registered Dynatrace CloudFormation resource type, in the given account and region by using the SetTypeConfiguration operation:

For example:

$ aws cloudformation set-type-configuration \z`
--region us-west-2 --type RESOURCE \
--type-name Dynatrace::Configuration::Dashboard \
--configuration-alias default \
--configuration "{ \"DynatraceAccess\":{\"Endpoint\":\"https://abc123.live.dynatrace.com\",\"Token\":\"YOURAPIKEY\"}}"
  1. After you have your resource configured, create your AWS stack that includes any of the activated Dynatrace resources.

For more information about available commands and workflows, see the official AWS documentation.

Development

Congratulations on starting development! Next steps:

  1. Write the JSON schema describing your resource, dynatrace-configuration-dashboard.json
  2. Implement your resource handlers in handlers.ts

Don't modify models.ts by hand, any modifications will be overwritten when the generate or package commands are run.

Implement CloudFormation resource here. Each function must always return a ProgressEvent.

const progress = ProgressEvent.builder<ProgressEvent<ResourceModel>>()

    // Required
    // Must be one of OperationStatus.InProgress, OperationStatus.Failed, OperationStatus.Success
    .status(OperationStatus.InProgress)
    // Required on SUCCESS (except for LIST where resourceModels is required)
    // The current resource model after the operation; instance of ResourceModel class
    .resourceModel(model)
    .resourceModels(null)
    // Required on FAILED
    // Customer-facing message, displayed in e.g. CloudFormation stack events
    .message('')
    // Required on FAILED a HandlerErrorCode
    .errorCode(HandlerErrorCode.InternalFailure)
    // Optional
    // Use to store any state between re-invocation via IN_PROGRESS
    .callbackContext({})
    // Required on IN_PROGRESS
    // The number of seconds to delay before re-invocation
    .callbackDelaySeconds(0)

    .build()

While importing the @amazon-web-services-cloudformation/cloudformation-cli-typescript-lib library, failures can be passed back to CloudFormation by either raising an exception from exceptions, or setting the ProgressEvent's status to OperationStatus.Failed and errorCode to one of HandlerErrorCode. There is a static helper function, ProgressEvent.failed, for this common case.

Keep in mind, during runtime all logs will be delivered to CloudWatch if you use the log() method from LoggerProxy class.
