Your cloud project, the beginning

You deployed your highly secure & encrypted Hub & Spoke model in Azure ( with Aviatrix), scaled up the environment and expanded into additional regions.

Next you want to migrate your workloads from OnPremise and empty your datacenters (does Cloud first sound known to you?)
You require a link with low latency for your sensitive apps (SAP, Databases) and good throughput/performance so you choose an Express Route circuit and deploy an Azure Route Server (ARS) to handle the routing information exchange between the 2 worlds.
Everything comes up seamlessly and by this time your design should look similar to this:

The BGP sessions of one of the Aviatrix Transit NVAs to the two legs of the Azure Route Server:

More workloads migrate to the cloud, you assign additional CIDRs to your VNETs and at some point in time when adding a new CIDR you notice an interruption in your OnPremise traffic.

If you landed here then you must have searched for examples about how you can get Dynatrace to work with Aviatrix.

Worry not…I also searched for those as I’m a pretty lazy person and prefer not to reinvent the wheel if I can avoid it.

I found a VSCode dynatrace plugin that makes things easier but then no premade examples so I went out to try Chat GPT / Gemini AI.

I lost 1h thinking that AI is the holy grail which will save me time and I was proven wrong.

Not a single line of code from it worked. I just ended up being frustrated.

See below what I came up with and how…

Also, to avoid confusion between VSCode and Dynatrace I call:

• plugin the Dynatrace VSCode extension itself (which enables you to write Dynatrace Portal Extensions)
• extension the Dynatrace extensions that get uploaded to their service and are used for gathering metrics and setting up Dynatrace-Aviatrix monitoring
