Initially, the Silk Performer Dynatrace plugin was created by Dynatrace. Later on, the plugin was open-sourced and now with Silk Performer 20.0 the plugin is maintained by Micro Focus. The new plugin allows to disable request tagging for Try Script runs. Furthermore, the plugin enables users to configure the tag selection for the additional HTTP header. Linking from the HTML report to the Overall API breakdown in AppMon has been disabled due to a defect in the Dynatrace interface.
The Dynatrace SaaS & Managed plugin not only offers similar functionality as the AppMon plugin but adds the possibility to send general information about the load test or error details to Dynatrace for further analysis. It automatically creates request attributes based on the selected tags and even creates request naming rules automatically within Dynatrace.
The Dynatrace SaaS & Managed plugin offers a set of tags to be sent within an additional HTTP header for each request.
