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
ModuleNotFoundErrorin 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 |
|---|---|
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. | |

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.
