The document describes the Kovair Dynatrace Integration Adapter, which allows integration between the Dynatrace application performance monitoring tool and other ALM (Application Lifecycle Management) tools. This provides centralized monitoring of application performance metrics. Key benefits include tracking alerts and diagnosing code-level issues using transaction data from Dynatrace. An example use case is provided where Dynatrace data is integrated throughout the development and monitoring process using various tools like JIRA, Jenkins, and ServiceNow.

A SNEAK PEAK
‘Kovair Dynatrace Integration
Adapter’ lets you integrate
Dynatrace tool with other best-
of-breed ALM tools. This
provides a centralized monitoring
facility into the application
performance metrics.
FEATURES & BENEFITS
❖ Synchronize attributes related
to Problem and Event from the
Dynatrace tool to target tools.
❖ Continuously monitoring user
experience is essential to
getting timely insights on
usage trends, response times
and overall user satisfaction
❖ Real-time metrics based on
events, transaction health
across different platforms,
response error, etc.
❖ DevOps must strike a balance
between velocity and stability.
Dynatrace integration brings
the innovation, performance,
and availability to take care of
the challenge efficiently
OVERVIEW
Dynatrace is an Application Performance Monitoring (APM) tool to analyze the
performance of application servers, database servers, and web services.
Kovair Dynatrace Integration Adapter
‘Kovair D y n a t r a c e Adapter’ allows one to integrate Dynatrace tool with
best-of-breed ALM tools within Omnibus ecosystem. As a result of the integration,
metrics monitored from Dynatrace tool can be traced and analyzed in Kovair or any
analysis tool. This integration brings Kovair DevOps solution to capture application
performance data as well as data related to network, containers, servers, hosts,
cloud.
Benefits of Kovair Dynatrace Adapter
• Track Alert: With the integration in-place using Omnibus IT team
can centrally track and manage alerts & notifications on application
health and critical business transactions based on the rules defined
for threshold.
• Code level Diagnostics: As part of performance testing, it provides
ability to determine which transaction is slow, and helps us in
identifying the reasons for slow transaction by allowing to drill
down to the method in code causing issue and helps in isolating
the performance bottlenecks. All the critical transactional can be
traced intimated to the respective team.

Use Case Scenarios with Kovair Dynatrace Adapter
Let us consider a typical use case scenario where the Kovair Dynatrace tool is integrated with tools like Remedy/Service Now, JIRA,
Eclipse, GitHub, Jenkins, and Kovair application using Kovair adapter for Dynatrace and Kovair Omnibus.
Step 1: A ticket is raised in Remedy/ServiceNow. This ticket becomes available at JIRA as backlog by Kovair
Step 2: Either all backlog items or based on certain condition some backlog item will be made visible in Eclipse by Kovair
Step 3: Inside eclipse, developers will work with BDD Swift, App Builder and App Swift.
Step 4: Once coding is done, the code will get checked in to GitHub.
Step 5: Once the code is checked in to GitHub, Jenkins will be invoked from Kovair.
Step 6: Jenkins will do the build, deploy the build in staging server and will invoke test automation using Selenium.
Step 7: If test automation is successful then build gets deployed in production by Kovair Omnibus as a continuation of step 5
else the build is not deployed in production and user is informed about the decision.
Step 8: Once the build is deployed in production, application monitoring is done using Dynatrace. The monitoring results are
then pushed into Kovair Omnibus. Based on different predefined conditions or rules, corresponding tickets would be created in
Remedy/Service Now system by Kovair. Mails can also be another form of events/trigger. Corresponding tickets would be
created in Remedy/Service Now system by Kovair.
