For a non-root Agent, what is the name of the user created on the host?

In the context of Dynatrace, when a non-root agent is installed on a host, a user is created that is essential for managing the agent's operations without requiring root privileges. This user is typically named "dtuser." The purpose of creating a dedicated user is to enhance security by limiting the permissions of the agent, thus preventing it from having unnecessary access to system resources.

Using "dtuser" specifically allows the Dynatrace Agent to interact with the monitoring system effectively while adhering to the principle of least privilege. This minimizes risks associated with giving the agent excessive rights on a host, making it a best practice in managing application performance monitoring.

Choosing this user name also helps in identifying processes and activities related to the Dynatrace monitoring software, which assists in better managing and troubleshooting within diverse infrastructure environments. The other choices do not align with the conventions established by Dynatrace, as they often do not reflect the actual naming scheme utilized for agents.
