Enabling dynatrace web so that users can view monitoring data using browsers
Hi
We are using dynatrace 5.6 version.
Is there any option to enable web,so that the users can access the dashboards which were built in dynatrace with a specific url in browser.
Hi Graeme,
Thankyou,it worked.
But as my id is having admin rights i was able to login.We have created a read-only group which has guest role.The users which were give read only group access were not able to login through web.What is the privilege that has to be given?
Anusha,
You need to enable the browser interface. Go to Settings --> Server --> Services --< Management tab and enable at least "Enable Web Server".

Anusha,
You don't need to download the client in order to access dashboards from the browser. Could we see the rest of the page?

Hi Graeme,
I have tried logging in through another machine using https://ukprldtsp01.xxxx.xxxx.com:8021
please find the below screenshot that i was able to see Webenabling_3.JPG
i tried clicking on launch client and a .jnlp client has been downloaded in my machine,opened the jnlp after that there was nothing that happened.
Anusha,
I'm sorry I wasn't clear. I meant you should use the name of the system that the Dynatrace Server is running on.
If you're logged in to the same system that the Dynatrace Server is running on, you can check to see if the browser interface is up and running by going to http://localhost:8020.
The connection from the client to the server – that you showed in the screenshot – is separate from the browser interface. They run on separate ports, so you need to specify port 8020 in the browser even though you specify port 2021 in the client.
However, since you're connecting to the same system, that's the same. When you're connecting from another system, use the same system name in the browser that you use in the client.

Hi Graeme,
How can we know weather our dynatrace is running on dynatrace.acme.com or not?
Our server were dynatrace was installed is a windows server.
and when i tried to open it in the server browser it self or out of the server using http://dynatrace.acme.com:8020 // http://dynatrace.acme.com:2021 it is showing the following error Webenabling_2.JPG
Please find the connectivity of our dynatrace application Webenabling_1.JPG
I would logon to your dynatrace.acme.com server and open a browser and browse to http://localhost:8020. If that works you know that the dynatrace server itself is running and that the web interface is accessible. If you cant access it via dynatrace.acme.com:8020 from a different machine it is most likely a firewall isuse
Anusha,
If the Dynatrace Server is running on dynatrace.acme.com, you can go to http://dynatrace.acme.com:8020 in your browser and you'll be able to log in and see any saved dashboards. This web interface on by default, so it should be there.
Note that you do need to log in and I guess you'll only see dashboards that your user id has access to.
