New menu design

Because the Dynatrace Software Intelligence Platform comes with so many capabilities right out of the box and offers so many additional options, we knew we needed to make it easier for you to find exactly what you're looking for.

That's why, starting with Dynatrace version 1.221, the Dynatrace menu has a totally new design.

  • Dynatrace capabilities are organized into groups tailored to broad use cases
  • The menu filter lets you display only the entries that match what you're looking for
  • The Favorites section lets you build a list of your personal favorites, so they're always right at your fingertips

Anonymization of user events

You can now anonymize page events of user sessions using the Anonymization API.

Kubernetes monitoring

Kubernetes monitoring now provides the Container restarts metric, builtin:cloud.kubernetes.pod.containerRestarts. The number of container restarts within a pod.

RUM: Filter for HTTP error code ranges

In the application pages, you can now filter data using the HTTP error code ranges.

HTTP error ranges

Notifications

You can now disable license-related notifications for non-admin users.

How to disable license-related notifications for non-admin users

Extensions 2.0: extension package size limit

Shared dashboards are presets now

We migrated shared dashboards to presets.

  • The published property (in both the web UI and the API) is no longer in use.
  • The preset property has the same effect, making the dashboard visible for everyone in the environment.
