Dynatrace SaaS release notes version 1.300

Rollout start: Sep 9, 2024

New features and enhancements

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.

  • Improved filtering

    Platform | Dashboards Platform | Notebooks

    Explore sections and tiles for logs, metrics, and business events now offer an improved type-ahead filter experience based on the new filter field component. Improvements include the ability to use logical operators (AND, OR) directly in the web UI, a simplified filtering syntax, or value suggestions for metrics as well as entity field suggestions for logs.

Create custom start pages with launchpads

Platform | Launchpads

You can now build tailor-made start pages in Dynatrace using launchpads.

Launchpads let you keep everything you need in one place: create your personal launchpad with everything important to you, create a shared space for your project, and much more.

To get started

  1. In the Launcher app, select Launchpad to add a new launchpad.

  2. Select Customize.

  3. Select a component type and start customizing it. Components you can add to your launchpad include:

    • Links—A collection of links to Dynatrace apps and documents, as well as general links to internal or external resources.
    • Markdown—A tile of Markdown-formatted text, including links to web pages and images
    • Cards—For each card, add a brief explanation, an optional image, and a button to take you to your destination

  4. After you have built your launchpad, select Done.

For details, see Launchpads.

Anomaly detection baselining, metric events, and availability

Platform | Davis

The following semantic dictionary fields are now enriched best-effort on Grail Davis events/problems for anomaly detection baselining, metric events, and availability:

  • cloud.region
  • cloud.provider
  • k8s.cluster.uid
  • k8s.cluster.name
  • k8s.namespace.name
  • k8s.workload.name
  • k8s.workload.kind
  • k8s.service.name
  • k8s.pod.name
  • k8s.container.name

The k8s.cluster.uid, k8s.cluster.name, and k8s.namespace.name fields are also available for Classic Events (exposed in events/problems v2 REST, notifications).

OpenTelemetry metrics ingest API now accepts histograms

Application Observability | OpenTelemetry

The OpenTelemetry metrics ingest API now accepts histograms.

  • By default, Gauge metrics for both explicit and exponential histograms will be ingested.
  • Buckets from explicit histograms are opt-in. To enable this, go to Settings > Metrics > Histograms.
  • For now, buckets from exponential histograms are not accepted.

Platform tokens for integration with Dynatrace platform services

Platform | Identity and access management

Platform tokens can now be created by regular users to consume the services and data inside of Dynatrace via the API within the bounds of their user permissions.

Platform tokens are a user-friendly alternative to OAuth clients and are suited for processes and applications that integrate directly with the Dynatrace API.

For details, see Platform tokens.
