Rollout start: Jan 17, 2023
Dynatrace Davis Assistant will reach end of life on January 31, 2023. After this date, the service will be shut down, and interactions with Davis Assistant will no longer be possible. Existing integrations, for example, with Slack or Microsoft Teams, will cease to work at that time.
For options and best practices on managing the push of problem notifications to your preferred third-party incident management or ChatOps service, see problem notifications documentation.
Cross Solutions | DQL
You can now see the most common use cases of Dynatrace Query Language (DQL) in DQL Use cases.
Cross Solutions | Settings
You can now duplicate items on most settings pages with the new Duplicate context action available for the individual rows.
Cross Solutions | Settings
You can now create settings objects for host groups using their names and not only the already available internal identifier. It opens up the possibility to provision settings before the first OneAgents of a host group has been deployed and connected.
Cross Solutions | Problems
The problem mode now expands to the analysis time of the problem instead of staying focused on the exact problem timeframe. It provides you with a wider range of values for analysis in the Dynatrace web UI.
Cross Solutions | Problems
Events triggered by metric event configurations now time out after the configuration gets disabled or deleted. The default timeout is 15 minutes.
Cross Solutions | Settings
You can now add rules for including log-based dimensional data to management zones. As an alternative to filtering logs by entities, you can define rule conditions based on log file names and log attribute keys and values. For more information, see Management-zone rules.
Application Security | Vulnerabilities
We improved the matching process for cases where NVD vulnerabilities contain an incorrect set of affected versions when using wildcards.
This will lead to a drop in open vulnerabilities for customers who see false matches.
Infrastructure Monitoring | Kubernetes
A new Monitoring not available alert:

You can now configure Cloud application and workload detection independently for Kubernetes, Cloud Foundry, and plain Docker environments. The setting:
Infrastructure Monitoring | Kubernetes
There's a new Logs section on the Kubernetes namespace details page.
Apps & Microservices | Opentelemetry
You can now pass dimension values also as boolean and integer; they will be converted to strings upon ingest.
Apps & Microservices | Distributed tracing
For GraphQL traces whose tracing system is Dynatrace, the Code level tab shows links to Span events and Span attributes.
Cross Solutions | Dashboards
You can now print a dashboard to a PDF file from Chromium-based browsers (Chrome, Edge, Opera) and Safari.
Printing a dashboard to PDF from Firefox is not yet supported. For essential details, see Print a dashboard to a PDF file.
Digital Experience | Synthetic Monitoring
You can now capture screenshots for successful on-demand browser monitor executions triggered via the UI. This functionality was previously available only via the API. Note that without this feature enabled, screenshot capture for on-demand executions is the same as for scheduled executions.
Digital Experience | Synthetic Monitoring
For on-demand executions of synthetic monitors, you can now rerun an execution with the exact configuration defined, for example, with metadata defined via the API. Select the Rerun icon next to an execution on the On-demand execution page.
Digital Experience | Synthetic Monitoring
The preset Synthetic Monitoring dashboard now includes several updates, including Data Explorer visualizations in place of custom charts, an example honeycomb visualization, and others.
Cross Solutions | DPL
You can now match Universally Unique Identifiers (UUIDs), such as social security numbers, using Dynatrace Pattern Language (DPL). See DPL Universally Unique Identifiers.
