Dynatrace provides both Oneagent and ActiveGate extension (aka: remote monitoring).
This article is specific to ActiveGate extension as mentioned here:
https://www.dynatrace.com/support/help/shortlink/ibm-mq-extensions#activegate
Possible error messages:
Status Uninitialized or Error 13:
Can't access to "/opt/dynatrace/remotepluginmodule/plugin_deployment/custom.remote.python.ibmmq_java/plugin.json" (filesystem error: status: Permission denied [/opt/dynatrace/remotepluginmodule/plugin_deployment/custom.remote.python.ibmmq_java/plugin.json])
[Errno 13] Permission denied: '/opt/dynatrace/remotepluginmodule/plugindeployment/custom.remote.python.ibmmq_java/psutil/init.py'
Troubleshooting steps:
1. Make sure you have an Environment ActiveGate installed with all its default modules running. It is not allowed to have only extension 1.0 and 2.0 enabled while rest of the modules are switched off through custom.properties file. If this is the case please uninstall the ActiveGate (including all its files and folders) and reinstall it.
2. If step (1) did not work, check the file permissions on /opt/dynatrace/remotepluginmodule/plugin_deployment/custom.remote.python.ibmmq_javaand change the file ownership and permission as follows:
Change the ownership of the directory to dtuserag:dtuserag and modify the permissions to 744:
chown -R dtuserag:dtuserag /opt/dynatrace/remotepluginmodule/plugin_deployment/custom.remote.python.ibmmq_java
chmod -R 744 /opt/dynatrace/remotepluginmodule/plugin_deployment/custom.remote.python.ibmmq_java
After changing the file ownership and permissions, please restart the remotepluginmodule service
systemctl restart remotepluginmodule
If the steps mentioned still did not work, please reach out the the product/tech support at Dynatrace.
Thanks!
