The Dynatrace SaaS/Managed plug-in is installed with
Silk Performer and disabled by default. If enabled, the plug-in modifies profile settings so that the runtime sends an additional HTTP header
with each page request. Besides, the plug-in can
- configure request attributes in Dynatrace to extract the load test specific information contained in this additional header,
making it available for analysis in Dynatrace.
- inform Dynatrace about virtual user errors through the plug-in.
- add an annotation containing general load test information.
- configure request naming rules in Dynatrace based on the timer name parameters passed to Web* and Browser* API calls.
Note: The additional HTTP header is only added during protocol-level testing and browser-driven testing using
Internet Explorer.
To configure the plugin:
- In the
Silk Performer menu, click
.
- Click
Dynatrace SaaS/Managed.
- Check
Enable plug-in.
- Click the
Attributes tab and configure
Name/Value pairs as desired.
- Set the base URL to your Dynatrace environment.
- Generate an authentication token with the required permissions in Dynatrace and specify it in the plug-in attributes.
- Tag relevant components of your system under test in Dynatrace and specify the used tag as application tag in the plug-in
attributes.
Additionally, you can choose which configurations the plug-in should do for you and which tags to send in the additional HTTP
header.
