Announcements

VULNERABILITY_IMPACT_CHANGE_EVENTS event type deprecation

Application Security | Vulnerabilities

The VULNERABILITY_IMPACT_CHANGE_EVENTS event type for security events is deprecated. Starting with Dynatrace version 1.291, VULNERABILITY_IMPACT_CHANGE_EVENTS events will no longer be available in Grail.

Mitigation

For a subsection of the deprecated change_list entries, mitigation is available as VULNERABILITY_STATUS_CHANGE_EVENTS with the event level Entity.

The following query on the vulnerability level can be replaced.

fetch events
| filter event.kind == "SECURITY_EVENT"
| filter event.category == "VULNERABILITY_MANAGEMENT"
| filter event.type == "VULNERABILITY_IMPACT_CHANGE_EVENT"
| filter event.level == "VULNERABILITY"
| filter in(event.change_list, {"affected_entities.process_groups.count", "affected_entities.nodes.count", "affected_entities.hosts.count"})

The following query on the entity level can be used as a replacement.

fetch events
| filter event.kind == "SECURITY_EVENT"
| filter event.category == "VULNERABILITY_MANAGEMENT"
| filter event.type == "VULNERABILITY_STATUS_CHANGE_EVENT"
| filter event.level == "ENTITY"

The deprecated change_list entry related_entities.databases.count has no replacement.

fetch events
| filter event.kind == "SECURITY_EVENT"
| filter event.category == "VULNERABILITY_MANAGEMENT"
| filter event.type == "VULNERABILITY_IMPACT_CHANGE_EVENT"
| filter event.level == "VULNERABILITY"
| filter in(event.change_list, {"related_entities.databases.count"})

New features and enhancements

Charts compare running pods with allocatable pods

Infrastructure Observability | Kubernetes Latest Dynatrace

The Kubernetes app now better distinguishes between running pods and allocatable pods, which makes the chart easier to read.

Improved detection of Kubernetes node provider types

Infrastructure Observability | Kubernetes

Additional provider types are now detected and displayed on the Kubernetes node properties page.

Infrastructure Observability | Kubernetes Previous Dynatrace

The Properties and tags section of the Kubernetes cluster page now displays the ActiveGate ID, which links to the ActiveGate deployment status page with the filter set for the related ActiveGate.

Email notification of sign-in from new browser or location

Platform | Access control

To improve account protection, for non-federated user accounts, Dynatrace now detects sign-ins from new browsers or locations and notifies the user by email.

This applies to any SaaS service you sign in to using SaaS SSO, such as the support system, Dynatrace Community, and Dynatrace University.
