Active or passive Monitoring?

MaxHeeren — Wed, 14 Feb 2024 07:54:07 GMT

Hello,

I am currently trying to draw an architecture picture for the use of Dynatrace in our company.

We are using OA, installed on the servers, and AG to collect the data before sending it to the Dynatrace SaaS.

My question are:

Is Dynatrace using active or passive monitoring? If the use both, where are they using which?

Is the collection of data done by push or pull monitoring?

Greetings,

Max
