Updates no longer available for Synthetic-enabled ActiveGate on Ubuntu 16

We previously announced the end of support for installing Synthetic-enabled ActiveGate on Ubuntu 16 after ActiveGate version 1.251. Now, with Dynatrace version 1.254, you can no longer update Synthetic-enabled ActiveGate on Ubuntu 16; the Update button in the Deployment status tab for such ActiveGate instances is no longer available.

Assign Synthetic-enabled ActiveGate to a private location during installation

With Dynatrace version 1.254 and ActiveGate 1.253, you can optionally select and assign a private location to a Synthetic-enabled ActiveGate during the ActiveGate deployment workflow. As before, you can also assign a location after setting up your ActiveGate.

Chromium 106 is the latest supported version for Synthetic-enabled ActiveGate installed on:

• Ubuntu 18.04, 20.04, and 22.04
• Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 and 8
• CentOS 7
• Amazon Linux 2

Chromium 106 is bundled with the Windows ActiveGate installer.
