What type of connectivity is required for ActiveGate?

ActiveGate serves as an intermediary that facilitates communication between OneAgents, the Dynatrace cluster, and the Dynatrace platform. It is essential for the ActiveGate to maintain connectivity to both OneAgents and the Dynatrace cluster for various operational reasons, including data collection, forwarding, and ensuring that information is correctly relayed to the central platform.

Establishing a connection to OneAgents is crucial as these agents are responsible for monitoring the health and performance of applications and servers within an environment. At the same time, connectivity to the Dynatrace cluster is necessary to send the collected data for analysis and to receive configuration updates.

In contrast, while external network connections, local server connections, or connections to remote databases might be relevant in some contexts, they are not requisite for the primary function of ActiveGate. The crux of ActiveGate's role is tied to its connectivity responsibilities within the Dynatrace ecosystem, primarily involving communication with OneAgents and the cluster itself. Thus, access to these specific components is vital for ActiveGate's effective operation.
