Azure Monitor API call frequency

mkulov — Sun, 06 Aug 2023 19:22:03 GMT

When integrating Dynatrace with Azure to collect data from Azure Monitor, docs say Dynatrace queries Azure Monitor API every 5 minutes.

Is it possible to decrease the period to one minute in order to achieve faster feedback?

Aren't 5 minutes too long period to detect any important system events?

Hey Mkulov,

You can view all possible activegate configurations including the Azure ones as specified here: https://www.dynatrace.com/support/help/shortlink/sgw-configure#custom-properties

As far as I can tell there is no such configuration to change the polling rate. The list of possible configurations in config.txt which is mentioned in the above docs is as follows:

Hope this helps!
