ITSM integration & SLO Quality of Service : itsm-integration-with-slo
✅ Dashboarding Dynatrace Simply Smarter : slo-simply-smarter

Demo (internal only): https://demo.live.dynatrace.com

1) Prerequisites installation

• Host Group and Management Zone best practices with Deployment best practices

• Read SLO
• Write SLO

3) Automatic installation and update with python script

Prerequisite : python with requests installed

python 3.6+
pip install requests

• internet acces dahsboard template & slo template
• git clone on local host (linux or windows)

Download the script

git clone https://github.com/dynatrace-ace-services/slo-simply-smarter
cd slo-simply-smarter

Linux
Export variables

export MyTenant=abcd123.live.dynatrace.com for saas or export MyTenant=domaine.com/e/abcd12234 for managed (without https://...)
export MyToken=dt0c01.1234ABCD.XXXX

Optional variables

export Deploy=ALL|SLO (default Deploy=ALL, Deploy=SLO option does not deploy the dashboards but only creates the mapping SLO with already imported dashboards)

Run the script

python3 Deploy_and_Update_SLO_Simply_Smarter.py

The SLO simply smarter is installed

If you use windows,

windows cmd
Export variables

set MyTenant=abcd123.live.dynatrace.com for saas or export MyTenant=domaine.com/e/abcd12234 for managed (without https://...)
set MyToken=dt0c01.1234ABCD.XXXX

Run the script

python Deploy_and_Update_SLO_Simply_Smarter.py

windows powershell
Export variables

$env:MyTenant="abcd123.live.dynatrace.com" for saas or export MyTenant=domaine.com/e/abcd12234 for managed (without https://...)
$env:MyToken="dt0c01.1234ABCD.XXXX"

Run the script

python Deploy_and_Update_SLO_Simply_Smarter.py

From Mission Control

Doesn't work from Azure Bash. Works fine from VM host : linux or windows.

Open the python script and add these two temporary variables Cookie & X-CSRFToken and run the script (in this case MyTenant=[clusterid]-managed.internal.dynatrace.com:8021/e/[tenantid]) :

Cookie='xxx'
CSRFToken='xxx'

From the Mission Control, Dev Tools, collect the temporary X-CSRFToken and the full Cookie like that

and run the python script as described above.

Installation without Python

If you can't install SLO Simply Smarter with python script, you can follow this workflow installaton which uses Bizops and Monaco

1) Create an APi-Token with this scope :

• Read configuration
• Write configuration
• Read SLO
• Write SLO
• Access problem and event feed, metrics, and topology (*)
• User sessions(*)
• Read metrics(*)
• Write metrics(*)
• Ingest Metrics(*)

(*) token used by BizOpsConfigurator (detail)

git clone https://github.com/dynatrace-ace-services/slo-simply-smarter
cd slo-simply-smarter
curl -L https://github.com/dynatrace/dynatrace-configuration-as-code/releases/download/v1.8.9/monaco-linux-386 -o monaco
chmod +x monaco

varaiables

export NEW_CLI=1
export MyTenant=abcd123.live.dynatrace.com for saas or export MyTenant=domaine.com/e/abcd12234 for managed (without https://...) or 
export MyToken=dt0c01.1234ABCD.XXXX

deploy

./monaco deploy -e=environments.yaml SLOSimplySmarter

4) Mapp SLO Simply Smarter and SLO Resource Optimization with SLO Smarter

Manually mapping

SLO Simply Smarter: for each SLO tile, mapp SLO Smarter and period
Set the period -1M and -1y manually for all the SLOs (by default -1w)

Application

Smarter - Application Performance => 1w, 1M and 1y

Smarter - HTTP Monitor Availability => 1w, 1M and 1y

Webservice and Webrequest

Smarter - Service Performance => 1w, 1M and 1y
Smarter - Service Availability => 1w, 1M and 1y

Database

Smarter - Database Performance => 1w, 1M and 1y
Smarter - Database Success Rate => 1w, 1M and 1y

SLO Resource Optimization : for each SLO tile, mapp SLO Smarter and period

Memory

Optimization - Memory Usage => 1w, 1M and 1y

CPU

Optimization - CPU Usage => 1w, 1M and 1y

Disk

Optimization - Disk Usage => 1w, 1M and 1y    

Automatic mapping
