ActiveGate plugin module custom configuration

The ActiveGate plugin module can be used standalone, out of the box. This topic explains how to modify your ActiveGate plugin module configuration.

Modify the ActiveGate plugin module configuration

To modify the ActiveGate plugin module configuration, edit the remotepluginuserconfig.ini file, which is located at:

  • Windows: %PROGRAMDATA%\dynatrace\remotepluginmodule\agent\conf\remotepluginuserconfig.ini
  • Linux: /var/lib/dynatrace/remotepluginmodule/agent/conf/remotepluginuserconfig.ini

Restart the ActiveGate plugin module

After modifying this file, restart the Dynatrace Remote Plugin Module service with admin rights:

Change port used to communicate with ActiveGate

By default, the ActiveGate plugin module sends data via port 9999, which is used by ActiveGate.

If you modify the port using the ActiveGate custom.properties file, you also have to modify the port that's used by the plugin module. To do so, edit the remotepluginuserconfig.ini file to replace PORT with the target port and then restart the ActiveGate plugin module service.

Server=https://127.0.0.1:PORT/communication

The port needs to be configured for the ActiveGate plugin module and the Extension Execution Controller (EEC).
