Running ActiveGate extensions in a Kubernetes cluster?

AntonioSousa — Fri, 19 Dec 2025 14:08:57 GMT

I have a EKS cluster where I want to execute SQL queries to get metrics.

The EKS ActiveGate is containerized, so doesn't support extensions. Deploying another ActiveGate might be a possibility, but was wondering if other approaches are possible? Ideas?

Hi,

Maybe Prometheus SQL exporter? Maybe it would be overkill, not sure. Just if you have already Prometheus.

Best regards

Running extensions in containerised ActiveGates is on the roadmap.
In the meantime, the recommended solution is to expose the DB port and query the DB from outside the cluster from a non-containerised AG.

Hi 👋

We are entering the Preview Stage for Database Extensions in K8s. If you are interested, feel free to sign up here.

This feature is currently scheduled for General Availability (meaning the newest Dynatrace will include this feature regardless of preview signup) in Q3/2026.
