FAQPage Schema

How do I create a Dynatrace Snowflake Observability plugin from scratch?▼

DSOA plugin development uses a phased lifecycle that produces defined artifacts including boilerplate scaffolding, SQL/Python templates, configuration schemas, and tests. It covers planning, implementation, validation, and deployment to ensure complete plugin creation.

What templates are generated when scaffolding observability plugins?▼

Scaffolding generates SQL and Python templates alongside configuration schemas. These predefined boilerplate artifacts provide structured foundations for multi-context and span plugins within the Dynatrace Snowflake Observability Agent.

Does this plugin development process support updating existing telemetry plugins?▼

Yes, this plugin development lifecycle supports updating existing telemetry plugins. It guides modifications to current implementations while enforcing structured testing, documentation, and deployment workflows across the phased lifecycle.

How do I test and deploy a span plugin for Snowflake observability?▼

Testing and deploying a span plugin follows guided lifecycle phases for validation and rollout. The workflow provides specific patterns for span plugins, ensuring generated tests and documentation validate telemetry data before deployment.

Can I implement multi-context plugins for the Dynatrace Snowflake Observability Agent?▼

Yes, you can implement multi-context plugins for the Dynatrace Snowflake Observability Agent. The development lifecycle provides specific architectural patterns and templates designed to handle multi-context data collection alongside standard span plugin implementations.
