Disable Dyntrace Autoupdater for Environment Activegate

[dyn98007]

Hello:

I would like to disable the Dyntrace Auto-update for an Environment Activegate.

Is there a config setting that can be set via a properties file to make that happen?.

Thank you!

Hi,

Select ActiveGate you are insterested, and click in "Settings":

Turn off this flag and saves changes.

This configuration can be done in tenant level to be aplied in all ActiveGates. And you have an API also.

Hello @dyn98007 

You can disable the AG update via API through :

• Environment API V2 > ActiveGates - Auto-update configuration > PUT
• It requires creating access token with "activeGates.write" scope and "AG ID" can be obtained under Manage  >  deployment status > Activegates > pickup the target AG > select the ID and use it the API request.
• Unlock the key with the generated token > use ID > change the "globalSetting": "DISBLED" , then execute.
• Upon successful execution you will see the attached message 

  Code	Description
  204	Success. The global auto-update configuration have been updated. Response doesn't have a body.

VIA UI: 

• Manage > Deployment status > Activegates > select the target AG > settings > ActiveGate updates 
• The default option : automatic updates at earliest convenience 
• Switch it Off and save changes.

As described by @AntonPineiro , both methods are applicable based on the current access privileges.

Hoping it adds value.

I would strongly advise to leave auto updating on.

Hi @adam_gardner 

• Agree with you it's recommended to keep the auto update On to keep the component updated with the latest fixes and enhancements.
• While some customers' policies prohibit that behavior unless there is approved change request.

Peter.
