Installation
Dynatrace offers two types of ActiveGate: Environment ActiveGate and Cluster ActiveGate. If you use Dynatrace SaaS, you only need to install an Environment ActiveGate. Dynatrace Managed deployments typically require both ActiveGate types, though the most important type for Dynatrace Managed deployments is the Cluster ActiveGate. For Dynatrace Managed deployments, see additional ActiveGate use cases for Dynatrace Managed.
An Environment ActiveGate can be installed:
- using an installer, on a virtual or physical host—this is called host-based deployment
- in a container—this is called containerized deployment
