Extract additional typed fields from the data in Grail.
Save time when developing DPL patterns.
Get instant feedback on the effectiveness and coverage of your patterns for your specific use case.
Bucket and table permissions in Grail
Platform | Grail
You can now assign user permissions to built-in (default) and custom buckets, and tables in Grail.
OneAgent health
Platform | OneAgent
OneAgent health offers an overview of all your deployed OneAgent modules and their corresponding health statuses, so you can detect anomalies before they become problems.
Management zone support for vulnerability notifications
Application Security | Vulnerabilities
You can configure your alerting profile to receive notifications
When a vulnerability is opened or reopened.
When a new management zone is affected by an open problem.
You can also set up an optional filter to receive alerts for a specific management zone.
For details, see
Metric events filter update
Platform | Davis AI
The logic of tag filter in metric events now considers a non-existing tag value as the "all" wildcard. If no tag value exists, all possible values of the specified tag match, including a null value. Let's consider an example:
- HOST1 with tag
Monitoring:True - HOST2 with tag
Monitoring:False - HOST3 with tag
Monitoring HOST4 without any tags
Previously, the filter with the condition TAG equals Monitoring would match only the HOST3. Now the filter matches the hosts HOST1, HOST2, HOST3.
Ownership app
Automation | Ownership Latest Dynatrace
The Ownership app in the latest Dynatrace enables you to take advantage of two custom actions for building workflows that involve querying for the ownership team (and related contact information) of an entity. With these actions, you can extract data about the entity and integrate with other apps to send Slack notifications or Jira updates to the entity owners based on different types of triggers.
Custom keys for ownership information
Automation | Ownership
You can define custom keys for applying ownership information to entities in key-value pairs via tags and entity metadata. The default keys owner and dt.owner are available with each environment. However, you change these as required to define up to five custom keys. You can use any defined key as a prefix to create additional keys. For example, for the key entity-owner, you can use entity-owner.1 and entity-owner-2 in key-value pairs. Access the custom key functionality at Settings > Ownership > Configuration.
Metrics for Kubernetes events
Infrastructure Monitoring | Kubernetes
Kubernetes events are now written into a timeseries that can be filtered by event type and event reason. This timeseries can be used to search for event behavior over time and contains the affected entities.
Calling and called cards half sized
Infrastructure Monitoring | Kubernetes
Calling workloads, Called workloads , Calling services and Called services cards on the workload and Kubernetes service screens are now positioned in a single row and are half-sized for improved visibility.
Invalid VMware credentials disabled in VMware settings
Infrastructure Monitoring | Hosts
Now, invalid credentials are automatically disabled in VMware settings after 5 consecutive failed attempts to connect to a vCenter.
Adaptive traffic management V3
Apps & Microservices | Distributed traces
Adaptive traffic management in Dynatrace SaaS is now available in two versions
In Version 2, the peak trace volume is measured in Full-service call/minute.
In Version 3, the peak trace volume is measured in Byte/minute. This version supports data-heavy features, such as bind variables capture.

Cluster
- Filtering on Deployment Status for OneAgent was not working in some particular cases (order of applying filters) when filtering by name was used and the filter contained ":" character. (DMX-3390)
- Fixed an issue in which a problem chart could stay in an error state even when the error was resolved. (DAVIS-4212)
- Fixed an issue in which some metrics couldn't be queries during a metric correlation in the user interface. (DAVIS-4226)
- RabbitMQ is now visible as main technology if mixed with technologies. (HOST-2460)
- Fixed an issue where delayed user actions were dropped between visit splits. (RUM-9535)
- The waterfall analysis no longer shows resources loaded by XHRs in frames twice. (RUM-9983)
- Fixed an issue where hybrid sessions with only errors were dropped. (RUM-10105)
- Due to a bug, we have currently disabled the ability to duplicate an existing configuration in metric events. The fix is already underway and will be available shortly. (DAVIS-4437)
- Corrected information on metric calculation for custom metrics. (LIMA-7072)
- An attempt to delete an attribute that either did not exist or has been deleted now returns a proper validation message explaining that the attribute cannot be found. (TI-6076)
- Corrected calculated data points displayed when creating a custom metric. (LIMA-7071)
ActiveGate
- Fixed an issue with handling of CA Certificate and Custom SSL Certificate parameters in ActiveGate Windows installer, in which the actual location where the installer put the certificate, and the configured location of the file could be different. Now locations are consistent. (DMX-3477)
- Fixed issue with assigning a Synthetic private location to an ActiveGate after update. (DMX-3283)

- Fixed an issue related to the Synthetic browser monitor configuration migration, which could lead some environments to fail to start after the upgrade. (SYNTH-4745)
User Interface
- Fixed an issue where application showed an error in some cases when the navigation took longer than expected. These crashes should no longer occur. (UIP-3349)
