What configuration might be needed for environments using proxies with ActiveGate?

When using proxies with ActiveGate in Dynatrace environments, it is essential to adapt the ActiveGate configuration to ensure proper communication between the ActiveGate and the monitored systems or services. This adaptation may involve specifying proxy settings such as the proxy server address, port number, and possibly authentication credentials if required by the proxy.

ActiveGate acts as a bridge between Dynatrace and the monitored application environments, especially in situations where network restrictions or legacy systems are in use. Therefore, without the appropriate configuration adjustments in ActiveGate, communication could fail, leading to incomplete monitoring and visibility into the systems being analyzed.

While network security settings and webhook services configuration may play roles in a broader setup, the direct interaction between ActiveGate and the proxy requires specific configurations within ActiveGate itself to facilitate this connectivity effectively. This ensures that data can flow uninterrupted and that monitoring operates smoothly in the presence of proxy servers.
