Dynatrace for IBM AIX7.2 LPARs

[philippe_rognar]

Hello,

My customer is using an IBM server (OS AIX 7.2) with several VMs (LPARs) and some Windows 2019 servers. He would like Dynatrace to monitor the whole thing with a SaaS solution.

I think we should deploy one "OneAgent" per VM, here are my questions:

1- Do I need to deploy an ActiveGate to collect the data? According to the documentation to monitor a VM you need an ActivGate...
2- If yes the ActiveGate needs a dedicated VM, can I install it on a Windows environment and collect the "OneAgents" data from the IBM VMs?
3- How to calculate the needs of this VM for the ActiveGate? (size, memory..)

Thanks in advance,

Philippe
