Breaking changes

Unified service support for Adobe Experience Manager (AEM) Cloud Service

Application Observability | Services

A unified service is created for each detected Adobe Experience Manager author and publisher, including their endpoints.

Existing services are automatically migrated to the unified service type and therefore no longer work. Verify related API metric queries, dashboards, and service and request names.

For more information about AEM Cloud Service monitoring, see the demo.

Announcements

Amazon Data Firehose integration allows the ingest of cloud logs directly without additional infrastructure needed and at higher throughput.

Outdated ActiveGate message for containerized ActiveGates

Infrastructure Observability | Kubernetes Previous Dynatrace

The criteria for the outdated ActiveGate message on Kubernetes entity pages have been updated. Instead of evaluating containerized ActiveGates using the ActiveGate group, all ActiveGates associated with the specified Kubernetes cluster are now considered in the outdated version check. If the message is displayed, it now includes a refined filter specifically targeting the containerized ActiveGate in the Deployment status.

Kubernetes cluster monitoring mode

Infrastructure Observability | Kubernetes

The new Monitoring mode field has been added to the Properties section of Kubernetes clusters. The possible values include: classicfullstack, cloudnativefullstack, and hostmonitoring.

Deprecated Kubernetes and Cloud Foundry APIs

To assist with migrating your integrations to the Settings API, see migration guides: Migrate from Cloud Foundry credentials API to Settings API and Migrate from Kubernetes credentials API to Settings API.
