Dynatrace SaaS release notes version 1.222

Product news

Data Explorer is now in GA release

Data Explorer is now in GA release and is the recommended Dynatrace charting tool.

  • Go to Data Explorer.
  • Custom charting has been removed from the Dynatrace menu. To navigate to custom charting, go to Data Explorer and select Switch to old charts. You can still pin a custom chart tile to a dashboard, but this functionality is deprecated.
  • The dashboard tile catalog in the dashboard editor now offers Data Explorer visualizations, not the custom chart tile.

If you have custom charts:

  • Custom chart tiles display a deprecation warning to users with dashboard editing permission.
  • When viewing a custom chart, you have the option to view the chart in Data Explorer. Dynatrace creates a best-effort migration of the custom chart; some limitations apply. You can then save the migrated chart to replace the existing custom chart tile. For migration details, see Migration from custom charts.

OpenTelemetry trace ingest is now in GA release

OpenTelemetry trace ingest is now in GA release. For more information, see OpenTelemetry and Dynatrace.

Metrics API: dimension keys

The Metrics API v2 no longer supports legacy dimension keys in metric selectors. Use dt.entity.<entity_type>, not <entity_type>. For example, for a host dimension, use dt.entity.host, not Host. For more information, see Metric ingestion protocol.

Events during maintenance windows

Events that were created during a maintenance window that suppresses problem creation are now shown in the event pages and are available through the Events API.

AWS DynamoDB tagging

You can now tag the AWS DynamoDB tables using automated, rule-based tagging.

Security-monitoring rules

You can now define custom security-monitoring rules for Application Security.

Billing for browser monitors without user actions

Successful browser monitor visits without user actions now write availability data and are billed accordingly.

Custom Davis events now consume DDUs

Ingestion of custom Davis events now results in the consumption of Davis data units because they require more processing and analytical power than built-in event ingestion. Events that impact DDU consumption are marked in the Dynatrace web UI on the configuration page (Settings > Log Monitoring > Events extraction) and in API documentation.

Consumption of custom traces via the Trace API

Custom traces are licensed on the basis of ingestion of spans (a span is a single operation within a trace). Spans ingested via the Dynatrace Trace API consume DDUs.

Unified analysis for Kubernetes

The overview pages for Kubernetes namespaces, workloads, and pods now offer a customizable unified analysis view that collects all relevant information regarding namespaces, workloads, and pods in one place.

Dynatrace API
