OneAgent Authentication

Hello,

I have a question about OneAgent data transmission security. Could you please explain how authentication is implemented between OneAgent and the Dynatrace server? Also, is any type of encryption used for sending and receiving data?

@Arjun123 you can find details in the documentation - data encryption in transit. OneAgents and ActiveGates use tokens for authentication.

In the documentation, it states that all communication is sent in a protobuf-serialized format. Here, the serialized data is directly sent to the server. You can perform additional encoding or compression if needed. If the user's tenant token and ID are compromised, it is possible for someone to modify or post unwanted data to the server.
