What is the primary function of a Cluster ActiveGate in Dynatrace?

The primary function of a Cluster ActiveGate in Dynatrace is to reduce bandwidth requirements by encrypting and compressing network communication. This is crucial in environments where multiple monitored entities communicate with the Dynatrace environment, as it optimizes the flow of data between OneAgents and the Dynatrace platform.

By encrypting the data, Cluster ActiveGate helps secure sensitive information that may be transmitted across the network. Additionally, by compressing the data, it minimizes the volume of data that needs to be sent, which helps in reducing the overall network load and improves the efficiency of communication between components.

While other functions listed might be part of the broader capabilities of Dynatrace's architecture or other components, the specific role of the Cluster ActiveGate focuses on managing and optimizing the data transport process, emphasizing the importance of secure and efficient network communication in monitoring and performance management.
