Apigee Edge monitoring

Learn how to monitor APIs that are hosted in Apigee Edge using the Dynatrace ActiveGate extension for Apigee Edge.

Prerequisites

APIs hosted on Apigee Edge Cloud.
- API Edge for Private Cloud is not supported at this time.
An Environment ActiveGate that has the ActiveGate plugin module installed and isn't used for synthetic or mainframe monitoring.
- ActiveGate version 1.175+ is ready to accept and run extensions. If you are running an earlier version of ActiveGate, see the Install ActiveGate plugin module instructions.
- For Environment ActiveGate installation instructions, see Dynatrace ActiveGate.
- One environment ActiveGate can typically support 30-50 API endpoints.

In the Dynatrace menu, go to Hub.
Find and select Apigee Edge.
Select Download to get the extension ZIP file. Don't rename the file.
Unzip the ZIP file to the plugin_deployment directory of your ActiveGate host.
Restart the Dynatrace Remote Plugin Module service.
- On Linux, restart the service using the following commands with admin rights:
```
shell
systemctl restart remotepluginmodule.service
```
- On Windows, run these two commands in a Command Prompt launched as Admin:
```
shell
sc stop "Dynatrace Remote Plugin Module"
sc start "Dynatrace Remote Plugin Module"
```
In Dynatrace, select Settings, Add new technology monitoring, and Add ActiveGate extension.
Select Upload extension and upload the ZIP file.
