## Summary When you’re troubleshooting intermittent HTTP Monitor failures in Dynatrace, it’s often necessary to determine which  **Synthetic ActiveGate**  executed a specific monitor run—especially when using  **Private Synthetic Locations**  with multiple ActiveGates.This guide explains how to quickly find the exact ActiveGate involved in an HTTP Monitor execution and what to do if the information isn’t immediately visible. ## Problem In Dynatrace, HTTP Monitor execution details show the  **synthetic location**   and **engineId**  where the run occurred. How can this information be used to determine  **which specific ActiveGate**  executed the test?Knowing this is essential when diagnosing: - Intermittent failures - Host‑specific issues - Configuration differences - Network or certificate problems - Proxy‑related behavior ## Private Location Resolution ### (Latest Dynatrace) How to find the ActiveGate used for an HTTP Monitor execution 1. **Open a Notebook**  in Dynatrace. 2. **Add a DQL section.** 3. Paste in the following query: 4. You can refine the filter to search for specific executions or monitors. For example, you could search for only the monitor with id **HTTP\_CHECK-472DC1A4B78A1758**  by adding to the filter. 5. Run the query 6. The  **`hex`**  column contains the  **ActiveGate ID in hexadecimal format**.Copy this hex value and use it to search on the  **Deployment status \> ActiveGates**  page to find the exact ActiveGate that ran the HTTP Monitor execution. ### (Classic) How to find the ActiveGate used for an HTTP Monitor execution 1. Navigate to the **HTTP Monitor** in Dynatrace. 2. Select **Analyze execution details**. 3. Choose the execution you want to investigate. 4. If multiple locations appear, ensure you select the correct one 5. Inside the execution details, note the **engineId** value. 6. Convert the decimal engineId to hex using: 7. Go to **Deployment Status \> ActiveGates**. 8. Filter by **ID**. 9. Enter the ID in hex format, prefixed with `0x`: ## Cluster and Public Locations Resolution Identifying the execution ActiveGate is not available through the UI. Please  **open a chat**  and provide: - A link to the execution - A short description of the issue Support will help identify which ActiveGate processed the execution. ## What’s Next If you weren’t able to find the ActiveGate that ran the execution using the steps above, open a chat and a link to the execution you are interested. ### Related reading 📖  [Synthetic Troubleshooting Map](https://community.dynatrace.com/topic/250426) 📖  [HTTP Monitor metrics in Synthetic on Grail](https://docs.dynatrace.com/docs/observe/digital-experience/synthetic-on-grail/synthetic-metrics/http-monitor-metrics) 📖  [Notebooks](https://docs.dynatrace.com/docs/analyze-explore-automate/dashboards-and-notebooks/notebooks) 📖  [(Classic) HTTP Monitors reporting results](https://docs.dynatrace.com/docs/observe/digital-experience/synthetic-monitoring/analysis-and-alerting/synthetic-details-for-http-monitors-classic) ---
