NOTE: Known issue – the TEST button does not work, and always returns “Test failed”. This does not indicate that the environment is incorrect. This issue will be resolved in a future release.
NOTE: The outbound message that is sent to Dynatrace needs to contain an "enviroment" key with the name of the plugin profile defined. This can be changed in the Dynatrace sender mapper
