What is the first step to deploy an ActiveGate extension?

The first step to deploy an ActiveGate extension involves uploading the add-on. This process is essential because it allows the extension’s files and configuration to be transferred to the Dynatrace environment where they will be utilized. Without this initial upload, the extension cannot be recognized or implemented in the system.

Once the add-on is uploaded, subsequent steps such as installing on the host or configuring any necessary network settings can take place. These subsequent actions are dependent on the successful upload of the add-on, signifying that the deployment process is initiated by this first crucial step. This emphasizes the importance of properly managing the deployment lifecycle, beginning with the correct installation of the add-on itself.
