ActiveGate as a beacon forwarder in SaaS deployment

[AK]

Hi Folks,

I need help in configuring AG as beacon forwarder.

I have enabled the beacon forwarder module on the AG. Now, to forward the beacon signal for an application, from where do I get beacon URL to add and also where do I need to add that beacon URL under application setting?

Application setting has three options,

1. Default
2. OneAgent
3. Cluster ActiveGate

Regards,

AK

Hello @AK 

Are you talking about the Cluster/or Environment AG?

Did you review the below documentation?

@Babar_Qayyum, thank you the response. It is environment AG

You need to use https://docs.dynatrace.com/docs/shortlink/beacon-forwarder#auto-injected-to-different-server

and the URL should be your AG

@PacoPorro, thank you for the response.

Will that AG URL available publicly?

If yes, do I need to do any changes under AG config files?

Network configuration is outside of the Dynatrace configuration.

@pacha @Babar_Qayyum,

Thank you for useful insights. We were able to get the help from Dynatrace support to resolved this.

Following beacon URL need to be used under application setting. provided that, a valid certificate added to ActiveGate  since the communication goes via HTTPS.
