Directories

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.

Services

Service account

All ActiveGate services are running as unprivileged Local Service account. The only exception is Dynatrace Autoupdater which is running as Local System.

Port usage

By default, ActiveGate:

  • receives connections from OneAgents or other ActiveGates on port 9999
  • receives Dynatrace API on port 9999
  • connects to Dynatrace SaaS or Managed cluster on port 443
