Dashboards
-
To display a better visual summary of larger data sets for entities such as hosts, containers, applications, and business metrics, we have added heatmaps to your selection of Data Explorer visualization types. We plan to add thresholds in an upcoming release.
-
To improve your line charts, you can now connect single data points with the new connect gaps option whenever there are missing data points.
-
To make your single value tiles stand out and be easier to read, we have increased the font size and made it easy to apply threshold colors to the entire tile. We plan to add trends in an upcoming release.
Metrics
- Wrong use of the term "HTTP error" has been replaced with "Request error" where appropriate. This includes values of dimension filter "Error type" that can be used as part of a Metrics API v2 query.
- Dynatrace now supports metrics for Amazon RabbitMQ.
- The roll up transformation is now available in Metrics API v2.
Event evidence data available in Problems API v2
Problems API v2 now includes event evidence data as part of the event details.
Event ingest via Events API v2
You can now ingest custom events via the POST an event request of the Events API v2.
Clone an SLO
You can now clone a service-level objective (SLO) via the Clone option of the Actions menu.
Application Security
- Remediation tracking for process groups and/or Kubernetes nodes affected by a vulnerability is now available.
- Dynatrace now identifies vulnerabilities that have vulnerable functions in use. For more information, see Manage vulnerability.
Synthetic Monitoring
When viewing the last failed or successful execution (Analyze last execution) for HTTP monitors in JSON format, any elements containing credentials are displayed with the credential ID. This feature requires ActiveGate version 1.231+.
User interface
- The charting style in service data pages is now unified with Data Explorer.
- The Kubernetes monitoring pages for workloads and pods are extended with a new log card. This card shows the Kubernetes logs. Log Monitoring must be enabled.
Settings info button
We have added an Info button to a number of settings pages to show the settings schema identifier that can be used for security policies and information about recent page modifications.
- Hover over the Info button to have a quick look at the information
- Select the Info button to keep the pop-up displayed while you work in a different window or if you want to copy and paste from the pop-up
These pages are now available to be used in security policies:
- Settings > Processes and containers > Process group monitoring
- Settings > Processes and containers > Custom process monitoring rules
- Settings > Processes and containers > Built-in process monitoring rules
- Settings > Processes and containers > Simple detection rules
- Settings > Processes and containers > Advanced detection rules
- Settings > Processes and containers > Container monitoring
- Settings > Web and mobile monitoring > Outage handling (Browser monitor)
