Disable Dyntrace Autoupdater for Environment Activegate

dyn98007 — Sat, 26 Oct 2024 09:39:02 GMT

Hello:

I would like to disable the Dyntrace Auto-update for an Environment Activegate.

Is there a config setting that can be set via a properties file to make that happen?.

Thank you!

Hi,

Select ActiveGate you are insterested, and click in "Settings":

Turn off this flag and saves changes.

This configuration can be done in tenant level to be aplied in all ActiveGates. And you have an API also.

Best regards

You can disable the AG update via API through :

Environment API V2 > ActiveGates - Auto-update configuration > PUT
It requires creating access token with "activeGates.write" scope and "AG ID" can be obtained under Manage > deployment status > Activegates > pickup the target AG > select the ID and use it the API request.
Unlock the key with the generated token > use ID > change the "globalSetting": "DISBLED" , then execute.
Upon successful execution you will see the attached message
Code Description
204
Success. The global auto-update configuration have been updated. Response doesn't have a body.

VIA UI:

Manage > Deployment status > Activegates > select the target AG > settings > ActiveGate updates
The default option : automatic updates at earliest convenience
Switch it Off and save changes.

As described by @AntonPineiro , both methods are applicable based on the current access privileges.

Hoping it adds value.

KR,

Peter

I would strongly advise to leave auto updating on.

Agree with you it's recommended to keep the auto update On to keep the component updated with the latest fixes and enhancements.
While some customers' policies prohibit that behavior unless there is approved change request.

KR,

Peter.
