Hi All,

Please let me know what is the use of ActiveGate while connecting Dynatrace with Azure . Is ActiveGate is required to make the connection between them.

From the documentation (link) :

To integrate Azure monitoring data, a dedicated ActiveGate is required to poll metadata and metrics from Azure APIs. This integration enables monitoring of Azure Services (especially for cloud services where we can't install OneAgent) and also monitoring through the Dynatrace UI.

For Azure monitoring, you should check out:

Regarding the Activegate involvement just check it has connectivity. You really shouldn't have to do anything there besides that...
