Dynatrace SaaS release notes version 1.228

New KEYS function for USQL

We introduced a new KEYS(customProperty) function for our User Sessions Query Language (USQL). Use this function to get keys of user action and user session properties according to the property data type defined in the argument. For more details, see Custom queries, segmentation, and aggregation of session data.

Enhanced user action naming

Where possible, v1 user action naming rules have been automatically migrated to v2 naming rules. To learn more about user action naming, see User actions and Create custom user action names for web applications.

Configure Angular package name for web applications

To improve web application monitoring, you can now configure Angular package name for Angular 12 applications.

Dynatrace web UI updates

  • You can now pin a filtered Problems dashboard tile from the Problems page.
  • Kubernetes cluster details page now has additional navigation controls that make it possible to navigate to the related namespaces, workloads, and pods of the Kubernetes cluster.
  • To improve consistency with other Kubernetes pages, navigation links on the Kubernetes cluster details page have been moved to the browse menu ("…") in the upper-right corner of the page.
  • On the service details page, we have improved how the initial analysis timeframe is selected to make sure it always contains data.

Davis feedback

We have added an in-product feature for users to share feedback about Davis in problem analysis views. Providing feedback helps us review how Davis is performing and make improvements where possible.
