Hello,

Can not really find this in the doc;s, but I assume that for the operator I can use the containerized activeGates as the API/Rest endpoint e.g. param apiUrl,

Hi&nbsp;[@henk\_stobbe](https://community.dynatrace.com/user/11427)&nbsp;,

Not documented (or at from what i’ve found so far), but if you take a look at the services it creates, you can make the api url.

For instance if the active gate service is&nbsp; :&nbsp; dynakube-activegate port 80/443

The url would be&nbsp;  
[https://dynakube-activegate.dynatrace:443/e/\<tenantid\>/api/.](https://community.dynatrace.com/).

or

[http://dynakube-activegate.dynatrace:80/e/\<tenantid\>/api/.](https://community.dynatrace.com/).

Example for otel :&nbsp;[http://dynakube-activegate.dynatrace:80/e/\](http://dynakube-activegate.dynatrace:80/e/%5C)/api/v2/otlp/  
The standard format for kubernetes when reaching a service is

\<servicename\>.\<namespace\>:\<port\>

Hope this helps

Please be aware that you can not use the (containerized) activeGate for the operator apiUrl, this activeGate is create by the operator and does not exists yet!

Hi&nbsp;[@henk\_stobbe](https://community.dynatrace.com/user/11427)&nbsp;&&nbsp;[@gopher](https://community.dynatrace.com/user/10565)

You can find in [documentation](https://docs.dynatrace.com/docs/shortlink/activegate-capabilities#functional_tbl) the follows:
