DYNATRACE PROFESSIONAL TEST PAPER QUESTIONS AND
ANSWERS 2025/2026 ALL RATED A+
✔✔What happens when a managed cluster node fails? - ✔✔NGINX automatically load
balances and redirects all OneAgent traffic to the remaining working nodes.
✔✔Why would you use Dynatrace Managed deployment scenario 1: Basic setup? -
✔✔If you want your managed cluster to only be accessible internally.
✔✔Why would you use Dynatrace Managed deployment scenario 2: Pure Dynatrace
Managed setup? - ✔✔If you want to enable DEM services and communication from
external sources.
✔✔Why would you use Dynatrace Managed deployment scenario 3: integration with
existing IT landscape? - ✔✔When customer already has environment with load
balancers and proxies in place.
✔✔In Dynatrace Managed deployment scenario 1: basic setup, is remote access to
Mission Control enabled? - ✔✔Yes
✔✔In Dynatrace Managed deployment scenario 1: basic setup, what is each
communication channel secured with? - ✔✔TLS (Transport layer security)
✔✔Is a Cluster ActiveGate required for Dynatrace Managed deployment scenario 2:
Pure Dynatrace Managed setup? - ✔✔Yes. It needs a publicly available IP address, a
domain name with a valid SSL certificate, and the domain must be different from web UI
domain.
✔✔How many Cluster ActiveGates are recommended for high-load production-ready
installations with external hosts, apps, sessions and synthetic monitoring? - ✔✔2
Cluster ActiveGates are recommended with the same domain name and certificate
✔✔What are the steps to take to use an Environment ActiveGate and a Cluster
ActiveGate? - ✔✔1. Set up Dynatrace Manged cluster
2. Set up Cluster ActiveGate, make sure it can connect with Dyantrace Manged cluster.
Make sure Cluster ActiveGate has public IP address.
3. Set up Environment ActiveGate and provide Cluster ActiveGate public address for
external communication.
✔✔Is CMC web UI traffic accessed using HTTP or HTTPS? - ✔✔HTTPS
✔✔Is a TLS certificate required to use CMC? - ✔✔Yes
, ✔✔What is the default subdomain of a managed cluster? - ✔✔*.dynatrace-
managed.com
✔✔Do managed clusters automatically have an SSL certificate? - ✔✔Yes - from Let's
Encrypt
✔✔Do Cluster ActiveGates support proxying of Web UI traffic? - ✔✔No
✔✔How should you prepare to horizontally scale your managed cluster? - ✔✔Adding
more nodes
✔✔How many managed cluster nodes does Dynatrace support for managed versions
1.168 and higher? - ✔✔15 cluster nodes
✔✔How many managed cluster nodes does Dynatrace support for managed versions
1.167 and lower? - ✔✔6 cluster nodes
✔✔How should you prepare to vertically scale your managed cluster? - ✔✔Provisioning
more RAM/CPU per node, resize disk volume for storage size as required.
✔✔What resources must be made exclusively available for Dynatrace in a managed
cluster node? - ✔✔CPU and RAM
✔✔Can managed cluster node CPUs have power saving mode enabled? - ✔✔No,
power saving mode must be disabled
✔✔What is the minimum CPU clock speed of a manged cluster node? - ✔✔2GHz
✔✔What is the minimum amount of RAM a managed cluster node should have? - ✔✔32
GB
✔✔How is storage done in multi-node clusters? - ✔✔Storage per node is divided by the
number of nodes.
✔✔Do we recommend Dynatrace binaries and data store to be on the same mount
point in Dynatrace Managed? - ✔✔No - separate mount points to allow the data store to
be resized independently.
✔✔Do we recommend keeping Dynatrace data storage on the root volume in Dynatrace
Managed? - ✔✔No, avoid additional complexity when resizing disk later, if required
✔✔Does Dynatrace recommend creating resizable disk partitions for Dynatrace
Managed? - ✔✔Yes (e.g. Logical Volume Manager)
