i am trying to install a Nagios activegate extension and one of the requirements is a license. Problem is I am not sure which license they require; dynatrace, nagios or if the extension has a license of its own. Kindly assist

@sbundi are you trying to install the Nagios integration extension? This one is a separately licensed extension developer by Alanata (Dynatrace Partner). Please reach out to dynatrace_integration@alanata.sk for a trial license if you are interested.

You can find more about the extension here: https://alanata.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/DTNAGIOS/overview

Question out of curiosity... What does Nagios offer that would not be same as just placing the Dynatrace OneAgent on the hosts? Thanks!

@larry_roberts Reasons for the extension vary, however typically customers do have some investment in their Nagios installation and want to use that data - such as custom integrations or hardware monitoring. It's also not uncommon for customers to have limited Dynatrace licenses (budget) and cannot cover the whole environment with OneAgents.

@larry_roberts just as a confirmation, the client was already using Nagios at the time and they didn't what to let go of it
