Build Your Own

Learn how to build a use case from scratch

Your Use Case repository structure​

  1. Each use case is linked with a repository. Create your own repo and copy the structure of the basic-dt-demo

https://github.com/dynatrace-ace/basic-dt-demo

  1. Your roles/my-use-case/tasks/main.yml could look as simple as this, in this way you are starting from scratch, without creating anything in particular

- debug:
    msg: "Hello from your external use case!"

  1. Deploy your ACE-Box as we did in 2. Deploy

  2. Enable your use case as we did in 3. Enable use case, this time pointing to yours

ace enable https://github.com/<your_project>/<your_use_case>.git

If you're using a private repo:

ace enable https://YOUR_GITHUB_USER:YOUR_GITHUB_TOKEN@github.com/<your_project>/<your_use_case>.git

Well done, now you have your use case within your ACE-Box, now you can start developing on top of it.
