ActiveGate directories

LinuxWindows

Purpose of directory	Default path Path relative to installation parameter	Disk space requirements (if size is not given, assume less than 1 MB)
ActiveGate executable files, libraries, and related files	`/opt/dynatrace/gateway` `<INSTALL>/gateway`	300 MB
ActiveGate configuration	`/var/lib/dynatrace/gateway/config` `<CONFIG>/gateway/config`
ActiveGate SSL folder	`/var/lib/dynatrace/gateway/ssl` `<CONFIG>/gateway/ssl`
ActiveGate temporary files	`/var/tmp/dynatrace/gateway` `<TEMP>/gateway`	4 GB (including 3 GB for cached OneAgent installers and container images)
ActiveGate logs	`/var/log/dynatrace/gateway` `<LOG>/gateway`	500 MB
Dump files uploaded to ActiveGate by OneAgent	`/var/lib/dynatrace/gateway/dump`	Functionality off by default. When activated, can take configurable maximum size: default 100 GB.
ActiveGate packages directory for auto-update installer downloads	`/var/lib/dynatrace/packages` `<PACKAGES_DIR>`	500 MB.
ActiveGate Extensions 1.0 and Extensions 2.0 executable files, libraries, and related files	`/opt/dynatrace/remotepluginmodule` `<INSTALL>/remotepluginmodule`	350 MB
ActiveGate Extensions 1.0 and Extensions 2.0 configuration, logs, cache, run-time work area	`/var/lib/dynatrace/remotepluginmodule` `<CONFIG>/remotepluginmodule`	2 GB (for logs and crash dumps)
ActiveGate extensions upload directory	`/opt/dynatrace/remotepluginmodule/plugin_deployment/`	Depending on uploaded extensions
zRemote executable files, libraries, and related files	`/opt/dynatrace/zremote` Using non-default directories is not supported.	50 MB
zRemote user-modifiable persistent configuration, zRemote runtime work area, crash reports	`/var/lib/dynatrace/zremote/agent` Using non-default directories is not supported.	50 MB
zRemote logs	`/var/log/dynatrace/zremote/log` Installing ActiveGate with zRemote in non-default directories is not supported.	200 MB
Private Synthetic executable files, libraries, and related files	`/opt/dynatrace/synthetic` `<INSTALL>/synthetic`	270 MB
Private synthetic logs	`/var/log/dynatrace/synthetic` `<LOG>/synthetic/log`	1 GB
Private Synthetic temporary files	`/var/tmp/dynatrace/synthetic`	20 GB, including 1 GB for the `/var/tmp/dynatrace/synthetic/cache` and 1 GB for `/var/tmp/dynatrace/synthetic/screenshots` You can use `TEMP` to customize this location; however, for Synthetic-enabled ActiveGate installed on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS and 22.04 LTS, the path must begin with `/var/tmp`, for example, `TEMP=/var/tmp/syn`. Dynatrace requires write access to `/var/tmp` for the installation of Chromium snap packages.
Autoupdater	`/opt/dynatrace/autoupdater` `<INSTALL>/autoupdater`	Included in estimate for ActiveGate executable files
Autoupdater logs	`/var/log/dynatrace/autoupdater` `<LOG>/autoupdater`	200 MB

Access ActiveGate `config` directory

The config directory has specific permissions set for the dtuserag user. To access this directory, follow the steps below.

Open the Terminal and switch to the dtuserag user.
```
bash
sudo su - dtuserag
```

Go to the config directory.

bash
cd /path/to/activegate/config

On Windows, the %PROGRAMDATA% directory is usually hidden for non-privileged users. Therefore you cannot select it by browsing through folders. Instead, to access the folder, paste the folder path directly into a Windows Explorer address box.
