What is required for ActiveGates to function properly?

For ActiveGates to function properly, it is essential to configure firewall settings. ActiveGates serve as a communication layer between your Dynatrace environment and the monitored entities, often operating in environments where firewall rules and network configurations can restrict traffic. Properly configuring the firewall ensures that ActiveGates can send and receive data as intended, allowing for seamless communication and monitoring across your infrastructure.

Options concerning the installation of additional software, monthly maintenance checks, and manual updates by administrators may not be necessary for the fundamental operation of ActiveGates. While maintaining software and ensuring updates are good practices, they are not specifically required for the basic functioning of the ActiveGate. The primary focus on ensuring that network traffic can pass through appropriately highlights the importance of firewall configuration in the setup and ongoing operation of ActiveGates.
