To start, stop or restart an ActiveGate you need to start, stop or restart the respective services for Linux or services for Windows that the ActiveGate is using—depending on the operating system on which the ActiveGate is installed. The actual services present also depend on the purpose for which the ActiveGate has been installed and on the functional modules that have been enabled.

You'll need root privileges to execute the commands to start, stop or restart ActiveGate services:

  • Start an ActiveGate service
    systemctl start <service name>

    For example:

    systemctl start dynatracegateway
  • Stop an ActiveGate service
    systemctl stop <service name>

    For example:

    systemctl stop dynatracegateway
  • Restart an ActiveGate service
    systemctl restart <service name>

    For example:

    systemctl restart dynatracegateway
  • Query the current status of an ActiveGate service
    systemctl status <service name>

    For example:

    systemctl status dynatracegateway
