Could we use the Windows 7 Dynatrace OneAgent in this case?

However I think it won't fit. Unless customer is running thick client applications in .NET/Java which can be instrumented. For retrieving just basic OS metric it's gonna be costly.</P> Wed, 20 Dec 2017 13:25:43 GMT https://community.dynatrace.com/t5/Open-Q-A/Could-we-use-the-Windows-7-OneAgent-as-a-desktop-agent/m-p/47251#M2195 Julius_Loman 2017-12-20T13:25:43Z https://community.dynatrace.com/t5/Open-Q-A/Could-we-use-the-Windows-7-OneAgent-as-a-desktop-agent/m-p/47252#M2196 <P>Depends on the use case.

If you run it in infrastructure mode, it's limited for retrieving operating system metrics, plugins (out-of-box plugins and custom plugins developed using SDK). and basic process metrics. You don't get code level details, purepaths, services, etc...</P><P><BR />In licensing terms it's counted with 0.3 ratio of a full stack agent. It's handy if you need to monitor just basic server functionality (OS) and monitoring running processes or some custom metrics. A good example is to have it on your database servers.</P> Thu, 21 Dec 2017 07:49:56 GMT https://community.dynatrace.com/t5/Open-Q-A/Could-we-use-the-Windows-7-OneAgent-as-a-desktop-agent/m-p/47254#M2198 Julius_Loman 2017-12-21T07:49:56Z
