Collector on same LAN?

Do collectors HAVE to be on the same LAN as the agents (DT 6 instructions say it must)?

Just building a new DT installation and I was sure the collector didn't have to be on the same LAN!

Hi Matthew

The key requirement is that you have low latency, high bandwidth between agent and collector. Why? because during agent startup we are sending the byte code (JAva, .NET) from the agent to the collector. The best case is that all is in the same LAN without any firewalls. However - that doesnt necessarily have to be the case as long as you have low latency and enough bandwidth between Agent and Collector. If that would not be the case startup time of your Agent will get delayed. If that takes too long we may also not instrument all classes as we stop after a while in case it is too slow and would impact your application

Please have a look at the Deployment Guide in the documentation for more information on our requirements
