How is data exchanged between Dynatrace OneAgent, ActiveGate, and Dynatrace Cluster secured?

Data exchanged between Dynatrace OneAgent, ActiveGate, and the Dynatrace Cluster is secured with encryption in transit. This means that all data communications occurring between these components are protected using encryption protocols, which ensures that the information cannot be intercepted or read by unauthorized entities while it is being transmitted over networks.

This method of securing the data exchange is crucial as it helps to maintain confidentiality and integrity of the data being shared. By employing encryption, Dynatrace ensures that sensitive performance metrics, monitoring data, and configuration information remain secure as they traverse potentially insecure networks.

While other options might relate to network security in different contexts, they do not specifically address the encryption of data during transmission, which is the primary concern in this scenario. For instance, HTTP does not provide secure data transmission, IP whitelisting is about controlling access based on allowed IP addresses but does not secure data in transit, and VPN tunneling is a separate mechanism that creates a secure point-to-point connection but is not the specific method used for data exchange between these Dynatrace components.
