Dynatrace Managed release notes version 1.272
Published date: 2023-08-07
Announcements
ActiveGate updates
To prevent the possible loss of buffered old log-event data, we highly recommend that ActiveGate versions 1.263 or earlier not be updated directly to version 1.273+. Instead, update ActiveGate versions 1.263 or earlier to a version between 1.265 and 1.271 first.
Not possible to create an AMP application
Digital Experience | RUM Web
It's no longer possible to create an AMP application via the Dynatrace web UI or API, and we will discontinue support for AMP application monitoring sometime in the future.
Log Monitoring V1
We strongly encourage you to switch to the latest Dynatrace Log Monitoring version.
Log Monitoring v1 will reach the end of life and will be switched off in January 2024.
Learn more about how to upgrade to the Log Monitoring Classic version of Dynatrace log monitoring.
Automatic cleanup of ActiveGate tokens
Platform | ActiveGate
Now we automatically delete ActiveGate tokens that were not used for two years.
New features and enhancements
Certificate authentication for browser monitors
Digital Experience | Synthetic Monitoring
Browser monitors running on public locations and private locations with Linux-based ActiveGates (containerized as well as non-containerized) now support certificate authentication. Each certificate must be tied to a single domain. You can specify and upload certificate files in PFX, P12, or PEM format from the Advanced setup tab of browser monitor settings in edit mode. This feature requires Synthetic-enabled ActiveGate version 1.271+.
New dimensions to vulnerability metrics
Application Security | Vulnerabilities
We added new dimensions to all vulnerability metrics. For details, see Application Security metrics: Vulnerabilities.
Enhanced Kubernetes event monitoring
Infrastructure Monitoring | Kubernetes
All Kubernetes events with event type Warning are considered relevant to identifying the root cause of issues. This change has two primary impacts:
- When the Filter important events option is enabled in the monitoring settings, these warning events will pass through this initial filter. This means you'll see more relevant events in your monitoring feed.
As these warning events are now deemed relevant to root cause analysis, Davis AI will incorporate them into the causation analysis.
Detect CPU saturation on host not supported on AIX systems
Infrastructure Monitoring | Hosts
Added a description to the Detect CPU saturation on host option to clarify that this alert is not supported on AIX systems.
Webhook problem notifications
Platform | Davis AI
Webhook problem notifications now support the accept any certificate setting for OAuth communication.
Event API v2 improvement
Platform | Davis AI
We improved display names for event types and removed deprecated types.

Resolved issues
General Availability (Build 1.272.110)
The 1.272 GA release contains 2 resolved issues.
Cluster
- Fixed an issue where problems that were directly impacting the host were not displayed on the host page problems tab in a timeframe that the problem was present. (HOST-3493)
Managed
- Fixed an issure where the user is not able to read permissions via the REST API. (CLD-7385)
Update 119 (Build 1.272.119)
This cumulative update contains 23 resolved issues (including 2 vulnerability resolutions) and all previously released updates for the 1.272 release.
| Component | Resolved issues |
|---|---|
| ActiveGate | 1 |
| Autonomous Cloud | 1 |
| Cluster | 19 (2 vulnerabilities) |
| Managed | 2 |
ActiveGate
- Fix an issue with the 'OneAgent in a host group' API where manual update to a specific version in some cases did not work. (CLUSTER-7190)
Autonomous Cloud
- Corrected a Deployment page reference to point to the newly released Dynatrace Operator v0.12.1. (K8S-6603)
Cluster
- Vulnerability: Improved security by disallowing the specification of a 'Host' header in Problem notification settings of type `Custom Integration` or `xMatters`. (DAVIS-5099)
- Vulnerability: An extension configuration that uses owner-only credentials now can only be created and updated by the owner of the credentials. (EXT-5195)
- Fixed metrics malfunction when more than a certain threshold is created. (CLUSTER-7919)
- Fixed an issue causing app failure when receiving a 500 response from the API for DQL query parsing. (LOG-4022)
- Baselining events now also generate event markers in unified services screens. (DAVIS-5186)
- Fixed VMware credentials state button. (HOST-3466)
- The metrics for monitoring candidates are now visible on the new host page. (HOST-3246)
- The loading indicator in the "View user session" button in the log details panel is no longer displayed indefinitely. (LOG-3944)
- An extension definition can now include more than one screen actions section per entity type. (TI-7075)
- Fixed an issue that caused some logs to be ingested contrary to the Log Storage configuration. After cluster restart, when the OneAgent periodically polls for its configuration, the cluster sometimes returned the configuration from the tenant level instead of the full configuration for the given OneAgent (accounting for host group and host configuration). This corrected itself after a few seconds, but some log lines may have been sent already. (LOG-3925)
- Alerting profile property filters properly support read-only properties now (for example, dt.event.impact_level). (DAVIS-5001)
- Creating a custom attribute named "content" no longer causes issues with Log Monitoring Classic queries. (LOG-3871)
- The request attribute input field on the service failure detection page now correctly handles user input to filter items. (TI-7477)
- Changed the base for the Memory usage chart to Memory used. (HOST-3158)
- Extended the disk exclusion list in host disk settings to 1,500. (HOST-1063)
- On unified analysis pages (for example, the host details page), "Events" card, corrected the events count for long-lasting events. (TI-7472)
- Fixed an issue where problems that were directly impacting the host were not displayed on the host page problems tab in a timeframe that the problem was present. (HOST-3493)
- Fixed an issue where unnecessary allocations may require cluster resizing. Reduced memory allocations during log metrics ingest. (LOG-4206)
- Fixed an issue where unnecessary allocations may require cluster resizing. Reduced memory allocations during log metrics ingest. (LOG-4206)
Managed
