How trace Python code??
Hi all,
I need to some python code.
have I any possibilities with ADK?
Thanks
Antonio
hi Antonio,
as long as you are able to call functions in a native library (e.g. like in here: http://docs.python.org/library/ctypes.html), you should be able to use the ADK pretty well.

Hi Christian,
to use C/C++ library functions of ADK in my Python code do I need to load DTAGENT.DLL?
Many thanks for the replay.
Antonio
Hi Antonio,
That depends on what platform you want to use the ADK. The DLL would be for Windows systems. Check out https://apmcommunity.compuware.com/community/display/DOCDT41/Agent+Development+Kit#AgentDevelopmentKit-NativeADK for examples of how to use the ADK in C/C++ apps.
Please note that you will require native agent licenses on the dynaTrace server.

Hi Roman,
yes we are using Windows systems for Python applications. But what I don't understood well is regarding the ADK functions.
For example: I insert "DYNATRACE START_PUREPATH" function in my Python source, this function does is found in DTAGENT.DLL and it's enought to call the dtagent.dll or do I need to compile the ADK functions?
Many thanks for your help.
regards
Antonio
Roman,
the reasons fo the question is becuase I see in the examples the include of #include <dynatrace_adk.h>
and I suppose must be compiled.
Many thanks again
Antonio
No, there is no compiling of the ADK necessary. You already get the compiled DLL. The header file (dynatrace_adk.h) just contains the declarations of the methods you can use. Just include it in you C or C++ source file like the example does...

Hi Roman,
my source file is written in Python, is it the same? The only worry is how to call a C/C++ library (dtagent.dll for Windows), right?
many thanks and regards
Antonio
Right, you need to call a C/C++ library (the ADK dll) from your Python source file. Sorry, can't help you with that part - maybe someone else reading the forum can?
Best, Roman
