ActiveGate release notes version 1.237
With this release, the oldest supported ActiveGate versions are:
How long are versions supported following rollout?
Starting with Dynatrace OneAgent and ActiveGate version 1.231, we are upgrading the Extension Framework (also referred to as the plugins framework) from Python 3.6 to Python 3.8.
- Consequences: Some Dynatrace extensions running in your environment may stop working and require redeployment of a new version prepared for Python 3.8.
- Symptoms:
- No data is provided for affected metrics on dashboards, alerts, and custom device pages populated by the affected extension metrics.
- Extension logs display errors. Most often this will manifest itself as Python
ModuleNotFoundError
in the PluginAgent log. - Sometimes the Python virtual machine crashes.
- Impact: This issue affects only those extensions that use native libraries called from Python code distributed with the extension.
Extension
What to do
- In Dynatrace Hub, find and select one of the extensions listed to the left.
- On the extension details page, select Download to download the extension ZIP file to your machine. If there are operating system options, be sure to select the correct download for your deployment.
- Deploy the extension per the instructions on the corresponding documentation page. (In the list to the left, select the name of the extension.)
For assistance, contact a Dynatrace product expert via live chat within your Dynatrace environment.
No action required. Extensions distributed with OneAgent will be updated automatically to work with Python 3.8 together with the Python upgrade.
To learn about upgrading custom Dynatrace extensions from Python 3.6 to Python 3.8, see Upgrade custom Dynatrace extensions from Python 3.6 to Python 3.8.
Prometheus metrics
Metric dimensions set by the Prometheus Metrics Ingest ActiveGate module are now harmonized with the dimensions set on the built-in Kubernetes metrics as well as other ingestion channels.
The dimensions dt.kubernetes.workload.kind
, dt.kubernetes.workload.name
and dt.kubernetes.cluster.name
were added, while k8s.<controllertype>.uid
and k8s.<controllertype>.name
were removed.
