Hi in a fresh Ubuntu 22 with docker installed. I am trying to  monitor this example in order to validate this documentation > **[Known limitations for Go support](https://docs.dynatrace.com/docs/ingest-from/technology-support/application-software/go/support/go-known-limitations)** > > Learn the limitations for Go support and their workarounds. But i am facing some problems. even after reboot the machine, restart the docker, delete the image. i was unable to achieve the monitoring of the image. i know that its monitoring the  process but its not  monitoring the services.

There are a few limitations with go Monitoring, be sure to check out [the documentation](https://www.dynatrace.com/support/help/technology-support/application-software/go/support/go-known-limitations). ---

Thank you pahofmann as i said, i just validated all and the app comply with all of them. even i am using a example from google that works if the oneagent its running on the server, but its not working if i am trying to monitor only the image. the last logs i am getting show me some hints but i cant understand why it stops ![rgarzon1_1-1672740179062.png](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/dynatrace/original/3X/a/f/afb9335e8e3bd3d04eee103a322dd0aad545af9f.png) ========= Agent state DISABLED has changed to true. Current agent.state: MANUALLY\_STOPPED =================== [native] SensorBase: Sensor ‘Go.ClientWebRequest’: agent initialization unsuccessful but as i said. i am not getting any advance. our intention its to find a configuration that the agent can work. because in the demo there is a api in docker with go working with the agent  [ruxitagent\_server\_1.0.log](https://community.dynatrace.com/uploads/short-url/gtYKtwiPxC7XwaXHbCtbSi23H0p.log) (30.2 KB) ---

Does anyone have a template of a Docker image of a api build in go ?  that dynatrace can monitor ? ---

I would like to see this working as well. In my case I can’t understand why oneagent-pass Go Agent gets Inactivated. We have disabled Go monitoring but we do enable it using dt\_agent\_type\_overide=‘go=on’ ---

Hi  [@Peter\_Youssef](https://community.dynatrace.com/user/51369) This issue dates back about two years. From what I recall, it was related to running the OneAgent in a virtual machine (VM) where the monitoring was disabled. If I attempted to monitor the same image with monitoring enabled (only for the image), the OneAgent inside the image would stop functioning. In such cases, there are typically two options: Use a clean VM without OneAgent installed. Use a VM with OneAgent installed but ensure that monitoring is enabled. The problem I faced at the time was due to forgetting that the OneAgent was already installed and active inside the VM. I hope this helps clarify the situation. and thank you for your response.
