This is related to Linux Environment ActiveGate Hosts to be used for the purpose of AWS Metrics and Extensions 2.0.
Scenario:
There are 4 DT clusters. One for Test and 3 Production (Prod) DT environments.
Those clusters will be collecting Metrics from 4 different AWS environments.
I would like to use the Linux ActiveGate installer downloaded from the Test DT environment and use the same installer to provision Environment ActiveGate hosts in the three Production environments.
My thought is to update the 2 files in each of the 3 Production Hosts
File#1 - authorization.properties (/var/lib/dynatrace/gateway/config/authorization.properties) in the three Prod environments with the corresponding environment ID, tenant_token and individual ActiveGate token.
[<environment_ID>]
tenantToken = <tenant_token>
authToken = <individual_ActiveGate_token>
File#2 - custom.properties with the appropriate seedServerUrl of the DT environment in the [collector] section
Please let me know if this approach will create any issue.
Solved! Go to Solution.

Hi @dyn98007
Thanks for sharing the highlighted concern, and the workaround as well.
To proceed safely avoiding any monitoring issues:

Hoping it adds value.

Hi @Peter_Youssef - Can this be a feature request for Dynatrace Environment Active Gate installer?
For OneAgent, same binary can be used for multiple Tenants by using OneAgentCtl CLI.
./oneagentctl --set-server=https://my-server.com:9999 --set-tenant=abc123456 --set-tenant-token=abcdefg123456790 --set-proxy=my-proxy.com --restart-service

Hi @dyn98007
Regarding the reported monitoring signals to Dynatrace cluster via env AG it will be reported to a dedicated environment where we have downloaded the OA or AG installation.
I believe it's better to isolate to avoid future monitoring disruptions.
BR,
Peter
