Hello. Can you provide more information about this OS?

cat /etc/*-release

You can check tecnology support by this documentation:

default UID, GID for dtuser is 1000:1000.

If on your system already exist another user with this ID, for example sysops:1000:1000, you can create dtuser by yourself.

 

sudo cat /etc/passwd | grep 1000

 

This is example if you cant delete user with uid:gid - 1000.

 

useradd -s /bin/false dtuser

 

 

passwd dtuser

 

 

usermod -u 997 dtuser

 

 

groupmod -g 997 dtuser

 

Last string in installation log address you to check network connectivity between OneAgent (host) and monitoring endpoints ActiveGates/Nodes.

host --> activegate:9999

host --> node:443 or to saas endpoint.

You can contact Dynatrace One and get support faster in context your case, since the specialists will have inside information, which I do not have. Them will help you with this faster.

@MariettaAlmeida,

From what I can see in the screenshot, my best bet would be that dtuser already existed when you ran the script.

The installation proceeded, but ultimately was not successful because it couldn't connect to AG/tenant.

Please check if dtuser does exist, and solve connectivity issue.
