Reverse proxy or load balancer for OneAgent

  • 1-min read

A reverse proxy/load balancer can be placed on the path from OneAgent to ActiveGate. You need to configure the URL of the load balancer on the ActiveGate so OneAgents can use that endpoint to connect to the ActiveGate.

There is no need to configure OneAgent to use a reverse proxy. OneAgent uses a list of communication endpoints that are embedded in the installer to connect to the environment. ActiveGate reports to OneAgent the URL that is used to configure OneAgent installation.

Configure during installation

Linux only

On Linux systems, you can configure a reverse proxy or load balancer for OneAgent by specifying the installation parameters during ActiveGate installation. For details, see Customize ActiveGate installation on Linux.

Configure after installation

ActiveGate version 1.333+

You can use agctl to configure a reverse proxy or load balancer for OneAgent.

Set a single reverse proxy endpoint:

agctl incoming-endpoint set https://address.of.my.lb.com:9999

Set multiple reverse proxy endpoints:

agctl incoming-endpoint set https://address.of.my.lb-1.com:9999,https://address.of.my.lb-2.com:9999

After configuring the reverse proxy with agctl, you need to restart ActiveGate for the changes to take effect.

Verify the configuration

To verify the configuration

  1. In Dynatrace, go to Deployment Status > ActiveGates.

  2. Expand the row for your ActiveGate and check the Load Balancer property in the Properties section.

    You can filter the ActiveGates page by Load Balancer address.
