What is the beacon forwarder URL for SaaS?

When identifying the beacon forwarder URL for SaaS in Dynatrace, the correct choice is based on how Dynatrace organizes its SaaS architecture. The URL structure “https://*.live.dynatrace.com/bf” is designed to indicate a wildcard approach that accommodates various customer instances hosted on the Dynatrace SaaS platform. This flexibility allows Dynatrace to manage numerous clusters effectively while ensuring that data from customers flows correctly to the intended back-end services.

This specific format facilitates seamless integration and communication between agents and the Dynatrace SaaS infrastructure, allowing data to be sent to the right location within the Dynatrace ecosystem. The use of the wildcard (*) in the URL provides the ability to forward data from any subdomain under the live domain, further emphasizing the scalability and adaptability of the SaaS offering.

In contrast, other options represent different types of URLs that do not align with the SaaS model. For example, using a localhost URL implies that the service is being accessed locally, which does not apply in a SaaS environment where the data is sent to a cloud-hosted location rather than a local instance. Similarly, other specified URLs like the ones containing "mycluster" or "api.dynatrace.com"
