Release date: July 21, 2025

This page provides an overview of the patches included in Dynatrace Operator version 1.6.1. For detailed information on new features and other enhancements, see the release notes for version 1.6.

Resolved issues

The HostPath of the log monitoring DaemonSet was moved from /tmp/dynatrace to /var/opt/dynatrace to be consistent with the OneAgent.

Secrets generated by the new automatic-tls-certificate feature flag are now properly removed when the ActiveGate configuration is removed from a DynaKube.

Fixed a webhook panic error caused by a missing dynakube.internal.dynatrace.com/instance annotation in the referenced DynaKube.

The validation webhook now checks the .spec.ApiServer value in the EdgeConnect custom resource. Also the respective error message has been improved.

When autoUpdate was disabled and OneAgent version was set, updates by changing the version field were blocked. This issue has been resolved.
