What are the 4 parts included in the plugin.json definition for ActiveGate plugins? Metadata, UI, Metrics, Configuration How are ActiveGate plugins licensed? The plugin SDK is free. Dynatrace partners can develop plugin for you, will depend on contract. Whatever custom metrics are used will be charged. How frequently do ActiveGate plugins execute? Once per minute Can you run multiple endpoints in a single ActiveGate plugin module? Yes What kind of ActiveGate executes ActiveGate plugins? Environment ActiveGate Can you execute ActiveGate plugins using an Environment ActiveGate that's configured for multienvironment support? No Where can you view results from plugin-monitoring? Technology overview page What is a "device group"? A technology tile that derives its data from an ActiveGate plugin. Why would you set up "key metrics" for an ActiveGate plugin? Define important metrics to be displayed in technology overview page. What is the favicon property in the plugins.json definition? Allows you to define your own custom icon for device groups! What can device groups represent? Clusters, regions, groups of servers, etc. What is a custom device group entity? Bind metrics and properties to monitor device group metrics How do you define the type and look of charts of ActiveGate plugins? plugin.json What is pgmetrics in plugins.json for ActiveGate plugins? Section that allows you to define custom device metrics. Does Dynatrace AI baseline the metrics of your custom devices? Yes! How does Dynatrace create problems from custom devices (ActiveGate plugin)? Metric threshold violation in JSON definition. (Automatically sends events, not problems) How do you manually generate problems for your ActiveGate plugins? Python API - raise performance, availability, error, and resource contention problems Does Dynatrace automatically distribute plugins between Dynatrace server and ActiveGates? No, you need to deploy them on ActiveGate and upload them to server. In general, what is the point of plugins.json (ActiveGate plugins)? Define how data is presented in the Dynatrace UI. In general, what is the point of Python files for ActiveGate plugins? Define additional events, create custom properties. How many Cluster Management Consoles are there per cluster? One per cluster. What is each managed cluster associated with? One or more nodes (with Dynatrace server instances), one or more monitored environments (with OneAgent), one cluster management console. What are the components included in the Dynatrace Managed installer? Dynatrace Server, Cassandra, Elasticsearch, Embedded ActiveGate, NGINX What can you do with CMC? Create user accounts and groups, add new cluster nodes, add new monitoring environments. How many nodes does Dynatrace recommend per cluster? At least 3 - data is replicated across nodes What percentage of managed cluster nodes does Dynatrace need to be running? Majority (50%+) What does Dynatrace recommend for latency between managed cluster nodes? 10ms or less Is transaction data (call stacks, database statements, code-level visibility etc.) replicated across managed cluster nodes? No - evenly distributed across all nodes If you're distributing managed cluster nodes across separate data centers, what is the max amount of nodes that Dynatrace recommends per data center? No more than 2 nodes per data center If you're distributing managed cluster nodes across separate data centers, what is the min amount of data centers that Dynatrace recommends? At least 3 data centers (1 can fail) Why does Dynatrace recommend that each managed cluster node be deployed on a separate physical disk? To prevent loss of monitoring data. Why does Dynatrace recommend deploying managed cluster nodes on systems with the same hardware characteristics? To minimize performance loss What should you keep in mind when building your manged cluster? Build cluster with additional capacity and possible node failure in mind. What happens when a managed cluster node fails? NGINX automatically load balances and redirects all OneAgent traffic to the remaining working nodes. Why would you use Dynatrace Managed deployment scenario 1: Basic setup? If you want your managed cluster to only be accessible internally
