What purpose does the 8443 port serve in Dynatrace Managed?

The 8443 port in Dynatrace Managed is primarily used for monitoring data from OneAgent and nodes within the cluster. This port facilitates secure communication for receiving monitoring data collected by OneAgents deployed across the environment. OneAgent gathers performance data from monitored applications, infrastructure, and services, which is then sent to the Dynatrace Managed server through this designated port. This communication is critical for the system to provide real-time insights and metrics about application performance, user experience, and resource utilization within the managed environment.

Understanding the role of this port is crucial for network configuration and management, ensuring that data can flow freely and securely between OneAgents and the Dynatrace Managed instance. This setup ultimately supports the comprehensive monitoring capabilities that Dynatrace offers, enabling administrators to make informed decisions based on the performance data collected.
