OneAgent and Java

sivart_89 — Tue, 08 Jun 2021 12:28:13 GMT

New to Dynatrace, just wondering if the Dynatrace OneAgent installs java or uses a preinstalled version of Java. I imagine the former? Just wanted to confirm, could not find any specific documentation on this

Hi Travis,

The OneAgent installer does not require Java on your system, nor does it deploy or use Java for the operation of the OneAgent (ignoring that OneAgent may be used to monitor your Java applications).

For Linux and Windows as two common platforms for OneAgent, you will find in our Dynatrace Help the following pages that'll describe more about what the OneAgent installer performs as changes to your system:

Linux, see What happens during installation? section

Windows, see What happens during installation? section

From a security standpoint, there may be particular permission required at installation time, so please review the security related topics:

Linux, see OneAgent security on Linux topic
Linux ambient capabilities mode, see OneAgent non-privileged mode on Linux topic
Windows, see OneAgent security on Windows topic

For other supported platforms, please have a look at this section of Dynatrace Help to locate the OneAgent topics related to the platform you wish to monitor.

Regards,
Andrew M.
