Where is the ActiveGate installer supposed to be run?

The ActiveGate installer is designed to be run on a networked host. This is important because ActiveGate acts as a bridge between the Dynatrace environment and the monitored systems, effectively facilitating communication and data transfer. By being installed on a networked host, ActiveGate can easily connect to both the Dynatrace cluster in the cloud and the environment it is monitoring, allowing for efficient data collection and analysis.

An isolated server may limit the ability of ActiveGate to communicate effectively with other necessary components. While a cloud environment may support running ActiveGate, it is not a necessity; it's more about ensuring that the ActiveGate instance has access to the required network resources. Running it solely on a local machine would restrict its capabilities since it would not properly connect with the broader network or cloud instances that it needs to interact with. Thus, a networked host is the most appropriate choice for the effective functionality of the ActiveGate installer.
