Announcements

End of support for private Synthetic locations on Red Hat/CentOS 7

Chromium development for Red Hat/CentOS 7 stopped at version 126. For important security and stability reasons, we've decided to discontinue our support for installing Synthetic-enabled ActiveGate on Red Hat/CentOS 7 after ActiveGate version 1.305.

ActiveGate version 1.305 will be the last Synthetic-enabled ActiveGate supported on Red Hat/CentOS 7. Additionally, with Dynatrace version 1.306, we will introduce mechanisms preventing Synthetic-enabled ActiveGates on Red Hat/CentOS 7 from being updated beyond version 1.305.

Log attribute becomes a content-like field

Infrastructure Observability | Logs

Starting with Cluster and Environment ActiveGate version 1.303, the log attribute will be treated in a similar way as content, message, payload and body attribute. These attributes are considered a content attribute of the log message.

Action might be required: If there is no content attribute defined for a given log source, the log attribute will be treated as content. If you have any log processing, log metric, and/or log events rules set on the log attribute, you'll need to update your configuration.

The change will ensure data ingested in through the log attribute that exeeds 2.5KB isn't trimmed and will be accepted up to 256KB, which is the default content attribute limit in OpenPipeline. For classic log processing pipeline ingestion, the limits are 250B for any log atribute and 64kB for content.
