Feature updates

Automations | Ecosystem

Configure access control for Connectors

Dynatrace Connection management allows you to configure access to third party workflow connections to perform actions, such as creating tickets in Jira, creating a pull request in Github, terminating an EC2 instance in AWS, restarting a pod in K8s, and more. Granular settings allow you to set up and share connections only with the users who are supposed to have such access, whether it’s everyone, specific users, service users, or groups.

For more information, see Access control for Connectors.

Automations | Ecosystem

Kubernetes Connector now in general availability

With the Kubernetes Connector, you can automate your K8s environments to easily apply configurations as you would with a kubectl command. This includes getting resource details, deleting resources, restarting a deployment, or remediating anomalies automatically (for example, terminating a pod that is stuck).

For details, see Kubernetes Connector.

Example: Kubernetes Connector

Platform | Settings

Settings navigation changes

The Settings items User session exports and Remote environments have moved from Connections to General.

Platform

Audit logs for environment logins

You can now access audit logs for environment logins. Every login event is recorded, even if no specific action is taken by the user other than logging in.

This enhances your security and compliance by allowing you to monitor all login activities and maintain detailed records for auditing purposes.

OpenPipeline

In OpenPipeline, matchesValue supports arrays

In OpenPipeline, matchesValue was limited to single values. With this release, we have added array support for easier conditions.

Infrastructure Observability | Log Monitoring

Added built-in log source for database technologies

We have added a built-in log source rule for database technologies.

Platform | Davis

New ready-made dashboard for Anomaly Detection

The Davis Anomaly Detection - new Davis Anomaly Detection app now ships with a ready-made dashboard allowing you to see how detectors behave on your tenant. Includes scanned bytes, success rate, and other metrics.

To try it, go to Dashboards and open the Davis Anomaly Detectors Health Status ready-made dashboard.

Digital Experience | Session Replay

SalesForce LWC/Aura components can now be fully recorded by Session Replay

Session Replay was already able to record pages using LWC/Aura components when they were using real Shadow DOM, or Light DOM modes of rendering. Now we have added support for recording the Synthetic Shadow DOM mode.

Software Delivery | Site Reliability Guardian

Segments now available in Site Reliability Guardian

This release introduces Segments to the Site Reliability Guardian, enhancing the granularity of data queries for your validations.

Digital Experience | RUM Web

Customize the RUM monitoring code filename prefix

You can now specify a custom prefix for the RUM monitoring code filename, which helps prevent it from being blocked by ad blockers.

For more information, see Configure the Real User Monitoring code source.

Platform

Deprecation of window object in Dynatrace JavaScript Runtime

To ensure ongoing compatibility with Deno, Node.js, and other server-side JavaScript runtimes, the use of the window object in the Dynatrace JavaScript Runtime is being deprecated. This change may affect Dynatrace AppEngine app developers who work with third-party dependencies.

Kubernetes | Inferred events

Inferred Kubernetes events

We have introduced a new event.provider for KUBERNETES_INFERRED_EVENT (for example, Workload spec change events).

For more information, see Inferred Kubernetes events.

Fixes and maintenance

Resolved issues in this release

  • Unexpected low load alerts on unified services now show connected signals on the classic service page. (DI-20242)
  • Fixed an issue with Python processes on unsupported platforms: if Python monitoring is enabled for the host, a restart was recommended instead of stating that it is unsupported. (MGD-4083)
  • The mesh config provided for Istio in a Managed deployment was broken, and the spans were missing in the results. Now, the correct configuration is provided. (DAQ-7411)
  • Fixed rounded timeframe expression on publicly shared classic dashboards. (PAPA-24948)
  • Removed information about the exact percentage of connection failure threshold from the event description, as it was a momentary value, and it later became incorrect. (OA-46276)
