Start/stop/restart ActiveGate

To start, stop or restart an ActiveGate you need to start, stop or restart the respective services for Linux or services for Windows that the ActiveGate is using—depending on the operating system on which the ActiveGate is installed. The actual services present also depend on the purpose for which the ActiveGate has been installed and on the functional modules that have been enabled.

Linux systemd (all supported Linux systems except for RHEL 6.x and Ubuntu 14.04)

You'll need root privileges to execute the commands to start, stop or restart ActiveGate services:

  • Start an ActiveGate service
    systemctl start <service name>

    For example:

    shell
    systemctl start dynatracegateway
  • Stop an ActiveGate service
    systemctl stop <service name>

    For example:

    shell
    systemctl stop dynatracegateway
  • Restart an ActiveGate service
    systemctl restart <service name>

    For example:

    shell
    systemctl restart dynatracegateway
  • Query the current status of an ActiveGate service
    systemctl status <service name>

    For example:

    shell
    systemctl status dynatracegateway

Linux System V (RHEL 6.x and Ubuntu 14.04)

You'll need root privileges to execute the commands to start, stop or restart ActiveGate services:

  • Start ActiveGate
    service <service_name> start

    For example:

    shell
    service dynatracegateway start
  • Stop ActiveGate
    service <service_name> stop

    For example:

    shell
    service dynatracegateway stop
  • Restart ActiveGate
    service <service_name> restart

    For example:

    shell
    service dynatracegateway restart
  • Query the current status of an ActiveGate service
    service <service_name> status

    For example:

    shell
    service dynatracegateway status

On Windows, starting and stopping ActiveGate services can be done using the Windows Task Manager, on the Services tab. You can also start and stop ActiveGate services using a command:

  • Start ActiveGate
    net start "<service_name>"

    For example:

    shell
    net start "Dynatrace Gateway"
  • Stop ActiveGate
    net stop "<service_name>"

    For example:

    shell
    net stop "Dynatrace Gateway"
