Dynatrace SaaS release notes version 1.250

Product news

New features and enhancements

Vulnerability analysis for Go

Application Security | Vulnerabilities

Dynatrace now detects third-party vulnerabilities in Go applications. Go is a key technology powering cloud-native applications and its adoption is increasing rapidly. Go vulnerability analysis is available starting with Dynatrace version 1.250 and OneAgent version 1.245.

To activate Go vulnerability analysis, enable the Go Software Component Reporting OneAgent feature. Vulnerability analysis for your Go application begins after application restart.

New default host page for AIX hosts

Infrastructure Monitoring | Hosts

The new host page is now the default for AIX hosts.

New filters in Kubernetes pods page

Infrastructure Monitoring | Kubernetes

You can now filter the Kubernetes pod list by:

  • Kubernetes service
  • Kubernetes service name
  • Kubernetes service type

Private Synthetic location creation

Digital Experience Monitoring | Synthetic Monitoring

You can now create a private Synthetic location (via the UI or API) by specifying only a name and geolocation; a Synthetic-enabled ActiveGate can be assigned to the location later. Such private locations are noted as "No ActiveGate assigned" until associated with an ActiveGate. This change makes location management more flexible and helps even further with automation.

Data Explorer layout, workflow, and data export are improved

Cross solutions | Data Explorer and dashboards

  • Save changes to dashboard, Pin to dashboard, and More (…) menu items Share link and Export to CSV are now displayed in the upper-right corner of the Result section, under the Run query button, after you run a query.

    Data Explorer query result controls

  • An eye icon in a metric row indicates and toggles whether a metric is selected as part of the query.

    Data Explorer metric toggle

  • An information icon and hover text are displayed in the visualization selection list:

    Data Explorer visualization selector info icon

    This is to notify you that some visualization settings are visualization-specific.

    • If you select a visualization and make some visual settings, and then you switch to a different visualization, some of your visual settings for the first visualization may be ignored because they do not apply to the newly selected visualization. An information icon in the list of visualizations will alert you to the possibility.
    • If you then switch back to the original visualization, you may need to reconfigure some visual settings that were lost when you made the first switch.
  • Values exported to a CSV file reflect the formatting specified with the Unit and Format settings.

Sign in to Dynatrace with your corporate Microsoft account

Platform Delivery | SSO

We're all suffering from password fatigue—that feeling you get when you have too many software tools, each demanding its own password—so we hope this change makes life a little easier for you.

If you have a corporate Microsoft account, you can now use it to sign in to Dynatrace. You don't need to configure anything. Just go to the sign-in page and select Sign in with Microsoft.

Dynatrace login screen

The first time you do this, you'll see a Permission requested message on the Microsoft side, where you need to allow Dynatrace to process your name and email address before you can proceed.

Microsoft Azure consent screen

When you select Accept, you're redirected to the Microsoft sign-in screen, where you can easily authenticate with the credentials to your corporate Microsoft account. Then you can continue working with Dynatrace as usual.

Signing in with Microsoft can also accelerate your authentication process with Azure when your email domain is already SAML federated in Dynatrace. Selecting Sign in with Microsoft will take you into the Dynatrace environment in the same way as when you enter your email address in the Dynatrace sign-in form. Dynatrace detects domain configurations behind the scenes and seamlessly redirects to the proper sign-in flow without any configuration effort needed on the Azure side.

Dynatrace API
