What is the purpose of the Extension Framework 2.0 in Dynatrace?

The purpose of the Extension Framework 2.0 in Dynatrace focuses on enabling the creation of custom integrations that leverage YAML for configuration, metrics collection, and the use of remote plugins. This framework streamlines the process for developers to extend Dynatrace’s capabilities by allowing them to create tailored solutions that meet specific monitoring and reporting needs, enhancing the platform’s flexibility and adaptability to different environments or use cases.

By utilizing YAML, developers can easily define configurations that dictate how custom metrics are gathered and reported, fostering a smoother integration process. The inclusion of remote plugins allows for further customization and functionality, enabling users to plug in additional data sources or processes which might not be supported out of the box. This aspect of the Extension Framework 2.0 significantly empowers users to customize their monitoring solutions, making it a vital tool for those looking to optimize their Dynatrace implementation.
