Dynatrace Resources

Reason for creating this

The RESTful API for Synthetic-as-a-Service or SaaS that Dynatrace provides many features that allow to extract rich sets of data for the creation of custom reports and for report automation. Unfortunately the REST API does not offer a possibility to retrieve XF measurements for the account. Also I wanted a way to acquire screenshots from the charts that were created for the tests that were being created, so I decided to create a program that allows the user to retrieve XF Consumption measurement from an account as well as any account that is associated to the account (For example: An account may have several subaccounts in the GPN Portal) The program provides the ability to obtain the end-of-month projection measurements, the sum of xf measurements from specific dates, as well as monthly offsets. As of now these were the attributes that seemed most pressing for XF measurements. There is always a change for improvement

Requirements

The following software needs to be installed

python3
selenium
PIL
- For cropping charts
phantomjs
dateutil
tqdm (Progress Bar for the commandline program)

####Ubuntu

sudo apt-get install phantomjs

####OS X

brew install phantomjs

####Windows

On Windows, remember to have phantomjs.exe in PATH variables

Installation

Follow installation instructions for PhantomJS for your operating system. For Linux users, you will need to build PhantomJS. The instructions can be found here

pip3 install selenium # pip install selenium
pip3 install pillow # pip install pillow 
pip3 install python-dateutil # pip install python-dateutil
pip3 install tqdm # pip install tqdm
# If git is installed
git clone https://github.com/josecolella/Dynatrace-Resources.git
cd Dynatrace-Resources

Road Map

Add command line argument for execution of program

####GPN Portal

~~Have the ability to fetch XFMeasurements from various subaccounts~~

####Dynatrace Portal

~~Get cropping dimensions for performance map, since it is different than charts~~
~~Have the ability to crop out charts and performance map only~~
~~Add the ability to save to a directory specified by the user~~

Usage

This module provides various functionality the extract different type of information from the GPN Portal as well as the Dynatrace Portal

Obtaining XF Consumption

import Portal
#username and password contain the appropriate GPN username and password
gpnPortal = Portal.GPNPortal(username, password)
gpnPortal.login()
xfConsumption = gpnPortal.getXFConsumption(startDay, endDay)
gpnPortal.close()

Obtaining chart screenshot

import Portal

dtPortal = Portal.DynatraPortal(username, password)
dtPortal.login()
# Entire screen
dtPortal.saveChartToScreenshot(chartName="Home Page Response Time")
# Chart is cropped
dtPortal.saveChartToScreenshot(chartName="Transaction",cropChart=True)
dtPortal.close()
