Product news

  • Dynatrace EdgeConnect securely connects your local systems to Dynatrace SaaS

    EdgeConnect enables secure connections between the Dynatrace® analytics platform and third-party systems within protected networks, whether they're running on-premises or in the cloud. EdgeConnect is designed to address automation use cases where accessibility to internet-restricted systems is crucial but impossible due to security policies.

Announcements

Thresholds API (api/v1/thresholds) is EOL

API

The Thresholds API (api/v1/thresholds) has reached end of life.

Its functionality has moved to metric events, which can be configured via the Settings API (/api/v2/settings) using the Metric events (builtin:anomaly-detection.metric-events) schema. For details, see Settings API.

Breaking changes

Azure API Management request metrics retired

Warning Breaking change

As described in Microsoft documentation, Microsoft has retired the following Azure API Management requests metrics as of August 31, 2023.

  • Total Gateway Requests
  • Successful Gateway Requests
  • Unauthorized Gateway Requests
  • Failed Gateway Requests
  • Other Gateway Requests

Dashboards and alerts based on these metrics will no longer work.

New metrics are available in Azure API Management Service monitoring.

New features and enhancements

Extended management zone awareness

Application Security | Vulnerabilities

On the Third-party vulnerabilities and Code-level vulnerabilities list and details pages, risk assessment is now management zone–aware:

  • When selecting a management zone in the management zone filter, risk assessment filtering and calculations are based solely on the selected management zone.
  • When no management zone is selected, but the user lacks permission to a particular management zone, the global results exclude the restricted management zone from the risk assessment calculations.

New DQL commands

Platform | DQL

Now you can include the following commands in your DQL queries:

The fieldsFlatten command can be used to extract/flatten fields from a nested record.

New DQL functions

Platform | DQL

Now you can include the following functions in your DQL queries:

  • bitwiseAnd
    The bitwiseAnd function calculates the bitwise and between two long expressions.

  • bitwiseOr
    The bitwiseOr function calculates the bitwise or between two long expressions.

  • bitwiseXor
    The bitwiseXor function calculates the bitwise xor between two long expressions.

  • bitwiseNot
    The bitwiseNot function inverts the bits included in the long expression.

  • bitwiseCountOnes
    The bitwiseCountOnes function counts the bits assigned to one of the long expressions.

  • bitwiseShiftLeft
    The bitwiseShiftLeft function shifts the long expressions by the number of given bits to the left.

  • bitwiseShiftRight
    The bitwiseShiftRight function shifts the long expression by the number of given bits to the right.

  • arrayIndexOf
    The arrayIndexOf function returns position of the first member in the array, which is equal to the given value.

  • arrayLastIndexOf
    The arrayLastIndexOf function returns position of the last member in the array, which is equal to the given value.

  • hashSha256
    The hashSha256 function returns a SHA-256 hash for the given expression.

  • hashSha512
    The hashSha512 function returns a SHA-512 hash for the given expression.

New DQL operators

Platform | DQL

Now you can include the following operators in your DQL queries:

Operator

Description

Checks an iterative boolean expression and returns true, if the expression was true at least once, or false if it wasn't.

Collects the results of an iterative expression into an array.

VMware invalid credentials event

Infrastructure Observability | VMware

When the VMware connecting process is blocked due to invalid credentials, a Monitoring Unavailable event is triggered. The event is active for up to 6 hour and then closed.

The event can be closed earlier if:

  • the affected credentials are fixed.
  • the affected credentials are removed completely from settings.
  • the problem is manually closed.

Log monitoring timestamp character search limit is configurable

Infrastructure Observability | Log Monitoring

You can now configure the timestamp character search limit as a part of a timestamp configuration rule.

Kubernetes minimum ActiveGate version is now 1.263

Infrastructure Observability | Kubernetes

To access the latest Kubernetes features, you need to deploy ActiveGate version 1.263+.

Kubernetes anomaly detection sample period and observation period limits changed

Infrastructure Observability | Kubernetes

The maximum sample period and observation period for all alerts provided by Kubernetes anomaly detection have been increased from 30 minutes to 60 minutes.

Bind variable settings for DPS and Adaptive traffic management Version 3

Application Observability | Distributed traces

Bind variable capturing can be enabled by all accounts using a Dynatrace platform subscription and tenants that are using Adaptive Traffic Management V3. No additional support request is needed.

PagerDuty for Workflows

Automations | Ecosystem

The PagerDuty for Workflows integration allows you to manage PagerDuty incidents.

  • Create PageDuty incidents based on a Davis problem, a security incident, or an attack
  • List on-calls to inform available users
  • List escalation policies
  • List services
  • List priorities
  • List users
