Click on Add to environment to get started.

Get started

Requirements:

ActiveGate on Windows or Linux with version 1.273+
Dynatrace version 1.273+
There must be connectivity between the ActiveGate and the Forcepoint Appliance API

Authentication:

The extension requires a username and password based authentication to run. This user needs to have access to all the polling and system status endpoints of the Forcepoint appliance API.

Dynatrace configuration

The following fields need to be configured for the extension:

URL: Forcepoint appliance API address.
User name: User used to authenticate against the API.
Password: Password for the above user.
Frequency: How often, in minutes, the extension runs. This frequency is the same for all configured endpoints.
Debug: If enabled, generates more verbose logs used for troubleshooting.

Make sure to select which feature sets (metric groups) you would like this configuration to collect. Selecting too few will not give you the proper visibility and you may miss out on important performance data, as well as key indicators that can be correlated between different objects. The endpoints related to unselected feature sets will not be queried.
