What feature is included with each Dynatrace Managed cluster node?

Each Dynatrace Managed cluster node includes an embedded ActiveGate for communication, which facilitates the interaction between the Dynatrace server and other components within the monitored environment. The embedded ActiveGate serves multiple purposes, including ensuring efficient data transfer, supporting remote monitoring, and enhancing security by allowing direct communication with monitored entities without exposing the Dynatrace server to the network. This feature is crucial for integrating various services, managing traffic, and providing a seamless connection to agents across different locations.

The presence of an embedded ActiveGate improves the overall scalability and performance of the Dynatrace Managed environment, as it can handle various data ingestion tasks and act as a proxy for communication between the Dynatrace components and the monitored applications and services.
