Description

Hi @bhjelmar ,

Great tool this will be handy as we move further into to automating AppDynamics deployments! I don't have an direct issue about this project but I have an question though as discussion is not enabled I am shooting in an issue.
You mention that the API has a limitation _"The API to directly find snapshots containing data collectors of type Session Key or HTTP Header does not work"._

What does this mean? Will this tool contain the functionality to export snapshots out of AppDynamics in future?
Currently I am looking for a way to export collected snapshots out of AppDynamics directly using pure Python that way I can integrate directly with AppDynamics from my own internal framework without having to interact with Dexter.

Or am I bound to use Dexter, I love Dexter but I would rather have an direct API like a Python package to achieve rich exports out of AppDynamics? In my case that would click a bit better into my entire automation framework.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the AppDynamics API limitation described in the issue and how Dexter currently handles snapshot exports. Clarify whether direct snapshot export, including data collectors of type Session Key or HTTP Header, is supported or intended. Done means documenting the limitation and defining the scope of any pure-Python API needed.
