What are the 4 parts included in the plugin.json definition for ActiveGate plugins? -
ANSWERMetadata, UI, Metrics, Configuration
How are ActiveGate plugins licensed? - ANSWERThe plugin SDK is free. Dynatrace
partners can develop plugin for you, will depend on contract. Whatever custom
metrics are used will be charged.
How frequently do ActiveGate plugins execute? - ANSWEROnce per minute
Can you run multiple endpoints in a single ActiveGate plugin module? - ANSWERYes
What kind of ActiveGate executes ActiveGate plugins? - ANSWEREnvironment
ActiveGate
Can you execute ActiveGate plugins using an Environment ActiveGate that's
configured for multi-environment support? - ANSWERNo
Where can you view results from plugin-monitoring? - ANSWERTechnology overview
page
What is a "device group"? - ANSWERA technology tile that derives its data from an
ActiveGate plugin.
Why would you set up "key metrics" for an ActiveGate plugin? - ANSWERDefine
important metrics to be displayed in technology overview page.
What is the favicon property in the plugins.json definition? - ANSWERAllows you to
define your own custom icon for device groups!
What can device groups represent? - ANSWERClusters, regions, groups of servers,
etc.
What is a custom device group entity? - ANSWERBind metrics and properties to
monitor device group metrics
How do you define the type and look of charts of ActiveGate plugins? -
ANSWERplugin.json
What is pgmetrics in plugins.json for ActiveGate plugins? - ANSWERSection that
allows you to define custom device metrics.
,Does Dynatrace AI baseline the metrics of your custom devices? - ANSWERYes!
How does Dynatrace create problems from custom devices (ActiveGate plugin)? -
ANSWERMetric threshold violation in JSON definition. (Automatically sends events,
not problems)
How do you manually generate problems for your ActiveGate plugins? -
ANSWERPython API - raise performance, availability, error, and resource contention
problems
Does Dynatrace automatically distribute plugins between Dynatrace server and
ActiveGates? - ANSWERNo, you need to deploy them on ActiveGate and upload
them to server.
In general, what is the point of plugins.json (ActiveGate plugins)? - ANSWERDefine
how data is presented in the Dynatrace UI.
In general, what is the point of Python files for ActiveGate plugins? - ANSWERDefine
additional events, create custom properties.
How many Cluster Management Consoles are there per cluster? - ANSWEROne per
cluster.
What is each managed cluster associated with? - ANSWEROne or more nodes (with
Dynatrace server instances), one or more monitored environments (with OneAgent),
one cluster management console.
What are the components included in the Dynatrace Managed installer? -
ANSWERDynatrace Server, Cassandra, Elasticsearch, Embedded ActiveGate, NGINX
What can you do with CMC? - ANSWERCreate user accounts and groups, add new
cluster nodes, add new monitoring environments.
How many nodes does Dynatrace recommend per cluster? - ANSWERAt least 3 - data
is replicated across nodes
What percentage of managed cluster nodes does Dynatrace need to be running? -
ANSWERMajority (50%+)
What does Dynatrace recommend for latency between managed cluster nodes? -
ANSWER10ms or less
Is transaction data (call stacks, database statements, code-level visibility etc.)
replicated across managed cluster nodes? - ANSWERNo - evenly distributed across all
nodes
, If you're distributing managed cluster nodes across separate data centers, what is
the max amount of nodes that Dynatrace recommends per data center? -
ANSWERNo more than 2 nodes per data center
If you're distributing managed cluster nodes across separate data centers, what is
the min amount of data centers that Dynatrace recommends? - ANSWERAt least 3
data centers (1 can fail)
Why does Dynatrace recommend that each managed cluster node be deployed on a
separate physical disk? - ANSWERTo prevent loss of monitoring data.
Why does Dynatrace recommend deploying managed cluster nodes on systems with
the same hardware characteristics? - ANSWERTo minimize performance loss
What should you keep in mind when building your manged cluster? - ANSWERBuild
cluster with additional capacity and possible node failure in mind.
What happens when a managed cluster node fails? - ANSWERNGINX automatically
load balances and redirects all OneAgent traffic to the remaining working nodes.
Why would you use Dynatrace Managed deployment scenario 1: Basic setup? -
ANSWERIf you want your managed cluster to only be accessible internally.
Why would you use Dynatrace Managed deployment scenario 2: Pure Dynatrace
Managed setup? - ANSWERIf you want to enable DEM services and communication
from external sources.
Why would you use Dynatrace Managed deployment scenario 3: integration with
existing IT landscape? - ANSWERWhen customer already has environment with load
balancers and proxies in place.
In Dynatrace Managed deployment scenario 1: basic setup, is remote access to
Mission Control enabled? - ANSWERYes
In Dynatrace Managed deployment scenario 1: basic setup, what is each
communication channel secured with? - ANSWERTLS (Transport layer security)
Is a Cluster ActiveGate required for Dynatrace Managed deployment scenario 2: Pure
Dynatrace Managed setup? - ANSWERYes. It needs a publicly available IP address, a
domain name with a valid SSL certificate, and the domain must be different from
web UI domain.
How many Cluster ActiveGates are recommended for high-load production-ready
installations with external hosts, apps, sessions and synthetic monitoring? -
ANSWER2 Cluster ActiveGates are recommended with the same domain name and
certificate
