ActiveGate supports calls to all the Dynatrace API configuration

msb — Thu, 03 Nov 2022 09:02:05 GMT

Looking at the documents it states "ActiveGate supports calls to all the Dynatrace API configuration" but all the examples I find limit this to environment information. What is the syntax to get non-environment information, like a list of Dynatrace Managed Cluster environments?

Hi @msb,

Maybe I do not understand clearly your problem, but you can find cluster wide information in the Cluster API v1 ans v2.

I hope it helps.

Best regards,

I have been able to successful get and post a new environment in a python script going through my Managed Dynatrace Cluster.

But now I am writing unit test cases and I cannot call the Managed Dynatrace Cluster as they are non-routable IPs, so I am calling ActiveGate which I can call on port 9999 and get information on the environments to unit test, but in the doco I only see it calling through the ActiveGate using an environment ID, but do not want environment specific information.

Let me re-state my question - What is the syntax to get non-environment information going through ActiveGate?

It's simple - the environment activegate stands for being an environment active gate. Thus you cannot call cluster APIs through it. You need to call the Cluster directly.

This is a Cluster ActiveGate not an Environment ActiveGate, so I think we should be able to do a GET and POST environment method through API V2?
If yes, I cannot find the format of this call.

Cluster ActiveGate does not expose this capability either.
