Dynatrace SaaS release notes version 1.297

Rollout start: Jul 29, 2024

Product news

Breaking changes

Davis® Analyzer response change

Platform | Davis

The execution logs in the Davis® Analyzer response no longer contain the analyzer name. You can find the analyzer name in the URL when calling the analyzer via API.

New features and enhancements

Unified ingest supports OCSF 1.1.0 vulnerability findings

Platform | OpenPipeline Application Security | Vulnerabilities

Data in Open Cybersecurity Schema Framework (OCSF) 1.1.0 format can now be automatically mapped to the Semantic Dictionary conventions once ingested into Grail via our built-in security events endpoint.

For details, see Ingest vulnerability findings in OCSF format.

Dashboard tile-specific timeframes

In Dashboards, you can now add a tile-specific timeframe to a tile.

This timeframe overrides the dashboard timeframe set in the upper-right corner of the dashboard. Using this method, a dashboard can have multiple tiles, where each tile has its own timeframe.

For details, see Use dashboards.

Matcher for the origin of the log source

Infrastructure Observability | Log Monitoring

The new matcher indicates the origin of the log source, highlighting which detector among IIS, open file, system detector or custom file configuration was used by the OneAgent to discover the log file. It is available for all configuration screens with OneAgent version 1.295+.

Process request count metric on Grail

Infrastructure Observability | Processes

Use the metric dt.process.request_count to learn the HTTP(s) request count for processes. The metric is available on Linux only.

Request app installation

Dynatrace Hub

Users without permission to install Dynatrace Apps can now automatically request their admins to install an app directly from the Hub. After a user requests the app installation, an admin receives an email. The automatic email notification works only after the environment admin configures the responsible admins in the Hub settings. For details, see Dynatrace Hub apps installation.

Dynatrace API

To learn about changes to the Dynatrace API in this release, see Dynatrace API changelog version 1.297.

Dynatrace Cluster

  • If your OneAgents can connect to the target environment only via Environment ActiveGate (for example, they are in a restricted network), then they can't use Remote Configuration Manager to modify their connection. (DMX-7911)
  • Maintenance window evidence no longer contributes to entities being marked as root causes of a problem. A maintenance window alone does not indicate a root cause but rather provides additional information. (DI-15158)
  • Limits to monitored entities instances are now applied after filtering out temporary services. (DI-15252)
  • Fixed an issue where writing to setting `builtin:host.monitoring` could cause a general server slowdown. (PS-25419)
  • Resolved issue ignoring Full Stack billing for traces ingested via EEC and causing DDU consumption instead. (TI-13561)
  • Failure Analysis resets to last 2 hours when loading unknown events instead of crashing. (TI-13226)
  • Changed the parameter `credentialsEnabled` to optional and provided default value `true`. (PCLOUDS-4658)
  • Resolved an issue that caused events to merge in the same problem even if merging was disabled for one of the events. Fixed incorrect merging of events suppressed by a maintenance window with the new event, which prevented new problems from opening after the maintenance window ended. (DI-15343)
  • Added a new binary `runc` in the important processes list to avoid noise on the Process list in containerized environments. (HOST-6207)
  • Fixed retrieval of RDS and TransitGateway infrastructure and metrics for customers with large amounts of instances. (PCLOUDS-4416)
  • Fixed an issue that caused Foundation & Discovery agents to lose connectivity for some time after a server restart. (LIMA-20052)
  • Implements optional SHA-1 validation for ingest messages, in order to reliably detect corrupted data & trigger retries on the caller side. (GRAIL-30014)
  • Fixed incorrect spelling in cookie schema. (RUM-20437)

Synthetic Monitoring

  • In case of a global outage (a problem with the Synthetic engine or network, missing data/result), an already open problem will time out, so anomaly detection operates only on up-to-date data. (SYNTH-12287)

User interface

  • Fixed the `ports` property formatting for Process group instances. (TI-13289)

Session Replay

  • Fixed an issue that broke the replay and showed a blank screen instead. (SR-5732)

Update 53 (Build 1.297.53)

This cumulative update contains 7 resolved issues and all previously released updates for the 1.297 release.
