<TEMP>/synthetic
20 GB, including 1 GB for the /var/tmp/dynatrace/synthetic/cache and 1 GB for /var/tmp/dynatrace/synthetic/screenshots
You can use TEMP to customize this location; however, for Synthetic-enabled ActiveGate installed on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS and 22.04 LTS, the path must begin with /var/tmp, for example, TEMP=/var/tmp/syn. Dynatrace requires write access to /var/tmp for the installation of Chromium snap packages.

Access ActiveGate config directory
The config directory has specific permissions set for the dtuserag user. To access this directory, follow the steps below.
-
Open the Terminal and switch to the
dtuseraguser.sudo su - dtuserag -
Go to the
configdirectory.cd /path/to/activegate/config
On Windows, the %PROGRAMDATA% directory is usually hidden for non-privileged users. Therefore you cannot select it by browsing through folders. Instead, to access the folder, paste the folder path directly into a Windows Explorer address box.
