ActiveGate plugin module custom configuration

Extensions 1.0 end of life

OneAgent and ActiveGate version 1.299 are the last versions supporting OneAgent and ActiveGate Extensions 1.0 framework. You can continue using Extensions 1.0 if you stay at OneAgent or ActiveGate version 1.299. Note that this means you'll be using an unsupported Python version 3.8. We strongly recommend migrating your extensions to the latest Extensions 2.0 framework.

For more information, see General guidance and how to migrate.

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).
