Hello, in my managed Dynatrace environment I installed some synthetic-enabled ActiveGate with the chromium extension to also simulate single-Url Browser monitor and Browser clikpath. Usually when i configure the location for single-Url Browser monitor and Browser clikpath I have my private location and all the other public locations from Dynatrace. If I configure an HTTP monitor I only have my private location. Why is that? (I apologize if I missed something from the docs) Regards! ---

Hi Yann! It isn’t possible to run HTTP monitors on our public locations… yet. Don’t worry though - we’re working on public locations support for HTTP monitors and it’s coming really soon. Stay tuned for further updates on our [Dynatrace blog](https://www.dynatrace.com/news/blog/?_ga=2.7891637.606411789.1592387011-787643420.1544689811).
