This extension documentation is now deprecated and will no longer be updated. We recommend using the new IBM Datapower extension for improved functionality and support.
Learn how to monitor DataPower devices using the DataPower ActiveGate extension.
Starting with Dynatrace OneAgent and ActiveGate version 1.231, we are upgrading the Extension Framework (also referred to as the plugins framework) from Python 3.6 to Python 3.8.
ModuleNotFoundError in the PluginAgent log.For remediation details, see Dynatrace Extensions.
In Dynatrace Hub, select IBM Datapower.
Select Download to get the extension ZIP file. Don't rename the file.
Unzip the ZIP file to the plugin_deployment directory of your ActiveGate host.
