Dashboard subscription workflow and security improved

Cross solutions | Data Explorer and dashboards

When you are subscribed to a dashboard and you open the dashboard link from the scheduled email, you now see the public version of the dashboard, like an anonymous user would see it. To see the dashboard based on your Dynatrace permissions, you need to sign in after opening the dashboard link.

New header and navigation panel for unified analysis pages

Cross solutions | Unified analysis

We've significantly decluttered the top of unified analysis pages such as the host overview pages, Kubernetes pages, queue pages, container pages, and domain-specific unified analysis pages.

  • We moved details about properties and tags, problems, vulnerabilities, and availability to a newly introduced notifications bar. This ensures that the top of each unified analysis page is dedicated to viewing the health of an entity at a glance.

  • The anchor buttons that used to function as navigation are now replaced by a dedicated table of contents on the right side of each unified analysis page. This new navigation concept allows you to quickly switch between sections on the page. For smaller screen resolutions, you can toggle display of the navigation panel.

New unified analysis page design

Extended vulnerability tracking

Application Security | Application Protection

On the details page of an entity (process, host, or Kubernetes cluster/workload), besides third-party vulnerabilities, you can now also track the most critical code-level vulnerabilities related to the entity.

On-the-fly validation for SLO timeframes

Cloud Automation | Service-level objectives

When you create or edit a service-level objective, an error message is now displayed for invalid values entered in the timeframe filter.

Feature sets and metrics in Dynatrace Hub

Infrastructure Monitoring | Extensions

Extensions 2.0 pages in Dynatrace Hub now contain a section with feature sets and metrics defined for an extension. You can also filter the metrics based on the metric name and key.
