Overview

The dynatrace-service allows you to integrate Dynatrace monitoring in your Keptn sequences. It provides the following capabilities:

• SLI-provider: To support the evaluation of the quality gates, the dynatrace-service can be configured to retrieve SLIs for a Keptn project, stage or service.

• Forwarding events from Keptn to Dynatrace: The dynatrace-service can forward events such as remediation, deployment, test start/stop, evaluation or release events to Dynatrace using attach rules to ensure that the correct monitored entities are associated with the event.

• Forwarding problem notifications from Dynatrace to Keptn: The dynatrace-service can support triggering remediation sequences by forwarding problem notifications from Dynatrace to a Keptn environment and ensuring that the sh.keptn.events.problem event is mapped to the correct project, service and stage.

• Automatic onboarding of monitored service entities: The dynatrace-service can be configured to periodically check for new service entities detected by Dynatrace and automatically import these into Keptn.
