Monitor resources using Dynatrace OneAgent

You can install Dynatrace OneAgents on virtual machines, App Service extensions, and Azure Arc Machines.

Virtual Machines

Important

  • If the virtual machine is stopped, installing the Dynatrace OneAgent is disabled. Dynatrace OneAgent can only be installed on virtual machines that are running.
