Overview

Dynatrace offers remote monitoring of IBM i hosts via this ActiveGate extension.

The ingested data provides Dynatrace with real-time visibility into host performance through interactive visualization tools, dashboards, unified analysis and events. When combined with OneAgent monitoring, you gain the ability to understand how IBM i interacts with the other components in your stack.
