dynatrace-activegate-terraform

What is this?

A set of terraform files for deploying either one ActiveGate or multiple ActiveGates across several environments

How do I use it?

Obviously you'll need to clone this repo, then, depending on if you are deploying a single ActiveGate or Multiple ActiveGates, you will need to change into the appropriate directory:

1. cd into the proper directory:
   • terraform/
   • terraforming-multiple-ags/
2. Create terraform.tfvars file
3. Run terraform apply:

terraform init
terraform plan -out=activegate.tfplan
terraform apply activegate.tfplan
