New features and enhancements
Dashboards and Notebooks: Open field with and Open record with
Platform | Dashboards Platform | Notebooks
When you select a field (for example, a Service ID) in a data table and other visualizations, you now have two Explore options:
- Open field with focuses on the field you selected (for example, a Service ID) and passes it to the Open with dialog. This narrows down the Open with options and makes sure you get suggestions for exactly the field you clicked.
- Open record with passes the whole record to the Open with dialog, not taking into account which field you selected. This results in a broader range of possible Open with options.
Dashboards and Notebooks: Continuous improvements of visualization options
Platform | Dashboards Platform | Notebooks
In this and future releases, we're extending the customization options of the majority of our data visualizations in both the Dashboards and Notebooks apps. At the same time, we're introducing new unified UI visualization controls across both apps to improve the overall usability of these settings.
IP allowlisting
Account Management | Security
With environment IP allowlisting, Dynatrace provides you with fine-tuned control over external access to your environments.
IP address allowlisting restricts access to your environment to specific IP addresses that you consider acceptable.
This includes access to the Dynatrace web UI and the API. With this configuration, you can significantly restrict the threat actor from direct access to your Dynatrace environment.
For more information, see Allow IP ranges that can access your environment.
Root cause analysis based on distributed traces exported to Grail
Platform | Davis Platform | Grail
Root cause analysis findings based on distributed traces (PurePath) are now exported to Grail as events.
- Query these events using
dt.davis.events - Filter for
event.provider == "ROOT_CAUSE_ANALYSIS"
Note that events from a root cause analysis have no lifecycle, but are real snapshots at the time of root cause analysis.
Metric selector events enhancements
Platform | Davis
Metric selector events have been enhanced to:
- Enable monitoring of every new timeseries (for example, triggered by a new host) from the very first data point.
- Improve handling of sparse timeseries data.
- Improve throttling behavior when the dimension limit is reached.
Active problems might time out during a short transition period. Nevertheless, Davis continues to detect anomalies even if a timeout occurs.
SDLC event configuration API
Platform | OpenPipeline
Software Developement Lifecycle (SDLC) event processing can be configured via OpenPipeline API.
