As always - it depends. Based on the upgrade plan and target architecture in Dynatrace, execution of the upgrade moves all Dynatrace monitoring of workloads from the on-premises Dynatrace Managed environment to the Dynatrace platform:

  • The Dynatrace environments are created in one of the available regions.
  • All configuration is applied to the Dynatrace environment (either through automation or manually applying the necessary configuration to the SaaS environment).
  • Dynatrace components are moved (OneAgent) or replicated (ActiveGate) to the new Dynatrace environment.
  • Monitored applications are restarted to ensure that all monitoring is moved to the new Dynatrace environment.

To reduce the migration time to the minimum, leverage automation tools - such as Configuration-as-code and OneAgent automation capabilities - such as orchestration packages or oneagentctl.

 

The most common parts that are migrated:
