Dynatrace Operator release notes version 1.5.1

Release date: April 25, 2025

This page provides an overview of the patches included in Dynatrace Operator version 1.5.1. For detailed information on new features and other enhancements, please refer to the release notes for version 1.5.

Known issues

  • We have identified the following issues with the newly introduced node image pull feature in Dynatrace Operator version 1.5:

    • When the feature is used in cloud-native full-stack monitoring mode without the CSI driver, it may lead to incorrect detection of hosts, containers, and services, as well as inaccurate license consumption. Therefore, we do not recommend using the image pull feature without the CSI driver in cloud-native full-stack monitoring until further notice.
    • When the feature is used in conjunction with the technologies annotations for storage optimization without CSI driver, it may lead to crash-loops or OneAgent misbehavior of injected Pods. Therefore, we do not recommend using the image pull feature with the feature flag oneagent.dynatrace.com/technologies until further notice.

    Please note that all other features of Dynatrace Operator v1.5 are functioning correctly.

  • GKE Marketplace Due to a change in the release process, keyless verification is not supported for Dynatrace Operator version 1.5.1.

Resolved issues

  • Fixed an issue with the webhook's certificate handling mechanism. This bug caused certificate errors in webhooks, potentially leading to deployment issues for DynaKubes.

Upgrade from Dynatrace Operator version 1.4

  • Dynatrace Operator version 1.5.0 Default DynaKube version is now v1beta4. Make sure to update your DynaKube accordingly to use newly introduced features!
  • The Dynatrace Operator now automatically generates certificates to facilitate secure communication between your in-cluster ActiveGate and other Dynatrace components. This feature is enabled by default and requires ActiveGate version 1.307 or higher. To use this feature, ensure your ActiveGate is updated to version 1.307+. If you prefer to disable this feature, set the feature flag feature.dynatrace.com/automatic-tls-certificate: false in your Dynakube configuration.
