ActiveGate update does not accept --set-group=xyz

Hello everyone,

I faced an issue that has happened in the past, but not every time. It happened on Managed and also after we migrated to SaaS.

We are currently updating our ActiveGates and we use something like this:

“/bin/bash Dynatrace-ActiveGate-Linux-x86-latest.sh --set-network-zone=xyz --set-group=xyz”

but then we get the following error from the installer:

ERROR: Parameter --group is not valid for an update. To configure the group, change the group settings in the custom.properties file, section collector, and restart Dynatrace Gateway

Is this because of the fact that during the update the current network zone and group are kept the same or is it a glitch? Does this mean that during an update we can skip these parameters in the installer?

Hi,

I was thinking that. Maybe you can try to configure group without more parameters.

Best regards

Hi @AntonPineiro

Actually I saw that when you update an AG instead if installing it for the first time, the network zone and AG group are kept from the initial installation, so I guess it’s not needed to supply them in the command. Thanks for the reply though!
