Active Directory Monitoring through extension.

[Peter_Youssef]

Dynatrace offers "2" levels of AD monitoring through the extension:

1. Active Directory services as the name suggests "the foundational level"
2. Active Directory extended monitoring. "Comprehensive view for AD Services"

Deployment Tips:

• ensure the communication is allowed the ad servers and Dynatrace env ags on port 9999.
• add the extension to your tenant.
• it's recommended: to Download and install Oneagent even in infra-only mode as initial setup to avoid HU license consumption, if there is license buffer you can enable full-stack for getting full visibility into AD services.
• Not recommended: monitor it remotely via extension only, but it works fine.
• while updating the extension, you will be required to update the configurations or delete and reconfigure it again.

Supported windows servers:

1. 2016, 2019 and 2022.
2. Only on-premises Active Directory deployments.

Not supported:

• Azure AD.

Remote monitoring:

• ensure the AGs are able to reach AD Servers through telnet on port 443.
• add the AD servers manually, then selected the required metrics sets.
• save changes.
