ActiveGate release notes version 1.179

Special announcements

Environment ActiveGates can now be updated with a single click

Known issues

Depending on your internet access and speed, ActiveGate update may take a long time, and the installer may appear to have stopped responding even though the installation is in progress.

Do not cancel ActiveGate update for Windows

Let the update process finish. If you cancel while the new version is still downloading, you will not have any working ActiveGate installation on this host.

Workaround

If you canceled the ActiveGate update and unintentionally removed the ActiveGate installation from your host:

  1. Make a copy of the content of the %PROGRAMDATA%\dynatrace\gateway\config folder.
    This folder contains configuration files or backups of configuration files from the removed ActiveGate.

  2. Install ActiveGate with the old configuration files still in the %PROGRAMDATA%\dynatrace\gateway\config folder.

  3. Verify that the old configuration files have been included in the current ActiveGate configuration files.
    If they are not, manually copy selected settings from your backup to the current ActiveGate configuration files.
