This is an ongoing summary of changes in this planned release. Check back here at GA for the final version.
This page showcases new features, changes, and bug fixes in Dynatrace SaaS version 1.341. It contains:
Application Observability
In
Logs, you can now aggregate your query results into patterns of data that show similar logs clustered together. This allows you to:
This is available as a preview.
Application Observability | Distributed Tracing
In Distributed Tracing, we have improved the visualization of errors and failures within Single Trace View.
Application Observability | Log Analytics
When investigating a log entry with trace context in
Logs, you can now open the associated trace details directly within
Logs. A button with a waterfall icon—rather than the Distributed Tracing icon—signals that you stay in context rather than navigate away.
Application Observability | Open Telemetry
We have updated opentelemetry-proto to version 1.10.0.
Digital Experience
You can use a new, ready-made alert type to monitor user action performance degradation at the frontend level.
Digital Experience
frontend.name and dt.smartscape_id propertiesWe have added support for the new frontend.name and dt.smartscape_id properties for frontend alert events.
Digital Experience
We have added new traffic and ANR alerts for frontends.
Digital Experience
You can now select between a static, seasonal, or auto-adaptive analyzer based on all alerts, and configure your own static threshold.
Digital Experience | Users & Sessions
We have introduced significant improvements in session handling:
Infrastructure Observability | Clouds
If
Clouds detects a database in your cloud environment, for example, an AWS RDS instance, that isn't monitored by the
Databases,
Clouds now displays a banner recommending that you add database monitoring for that resource. Selecting the banner takes you directly to the setup flow so you can monitor the database with full Smartscape-based visibility and view it in the
Databases.
Infrastructure Observability | Databases
The Databases app requires an extension update and acceptance of the DATABASE_MONITORING setting for DPS customers to access the new features offered exclusively in the new Explorer view.
Infrastructure Observability | Extensions
Extensions can now ship the Unified Analysis pages for Smartscape.
Infrastructure Observability | Hosts
We have introduced new os_service.* property names for events and availability metrics in addition to the old dt.osservice.* names, which eventually will be deprecated on Dynatrace SaaS.
Infrastructure Observability | Hosts
The host entities in Smartscape on Grail have two new fields: sku (for example, t3.small) and logical_cores (for example, 4).
For more information, see Smartscape - Core Entities.
Infrastructure Observability | Hosts
The following fields are added to host entities coming from z/OS:
zos.cpu_model_numberzos.cpu_serial_numberzos.system_namezos.virtualizationzos.total_general_purpose_processorszos.total_physical_memoryzos.total_ziip_processorsFor details, see Global field reference.
Infrastructure Observability | Infrastructure & Operations
Infrastructure & Operations has a new Explorer, fully powered by Grail, that provides significant performance improvements. It requires OneAgent version 1.337+ as well as the latest versions of technology extensions (there’s a new major version for each).
The existing Explorer will be retained temporarily in a separate tab for backward compatibility.
Infrastructure Observability | Infrastructure & Operations
We have added a new REST API to provide URIs for the images used in Dynatrace components.
Infrastructure Observability | Kubernetes
The container entities in Smartscape on Grail have a new field, container.containerization_type (example value: cri-o), indicating which containerization type is used to run the container.
For more information, see Smartscape - Core Entities.
Infrastructure Observability | Kubernetes
Kubernetes version 1.42.0+ has a new security tab that replaces the Vulnerability tab in the Explorer. In Explorer (Classic), the Vulnerability tab remains.
Platform
You can now track the number of ingested metric data points, broken down by metric key, metric source, cost allocation, and other dimensions. This is made available via the self-monitoring metric dt.sfm.metrics.ingest.datapoints.
Platform | DQL
We introduced the new field usable_with in the output of
fetch dt.system.data_objects
It contains an array listing the DQL commands the data object can be used with.
Platform | OpenPipeline
In OpenPipeline, a pipeline is now limited to 1,000 processors.
Platform | OpenPipeline
We have enhanced log parsing for Azure SQL Database.
Platform | Platform Services
You can now add up to 100 entries to your external requests allowlist, double the previous limit of 50. This lets you connect even more integrations and add finer-grained patterns. Existing allowlist entries are preserved, and the new limit applies across all environments.
Platform | Platform Services
You can now schedule maintenance windows in Dynatrace to mark planned deployments, upgrades, and load tests. One-time and recurring windows are supported. For recurring windows, you can use AutomationEngine scheduling rules and calendars to model complex patterns, such as business-hour exclusions or rolling release cycles.
During an active window, Dynatrace automatically enriches matching telemetry with maintenance metadata. Use it to filter dashboards, adjust workflow logic, and distinguish planned disruptions from real incidents. Windows are persisted as events in Grail, so you always have a complete maintenance history without needing to keep old configurations around.
Maintenance windows are available in Early Access. Problem suppression, synthetic disabling, and SLO time exclusions are planned for upcoming releases.
Platform | Segments
The Segments app now opens in a new browser tab when accessed from the segment selector (for example, in
Dashboards or
Notebooks), replacing the previous modal overlay. This lets you keep your current context while managing segments.
Additionally, segments in the management list are now rendered as standard links, enabling:
These changes align Segments with standard web navigation patterns, making it easier to share segment configurations with teammates and to work with multiple segments in parallel.
Platform | Smartscape
The new All topology view shows all relationships for a given Smartscape node in a single graph—the infrastructure stack, communication flows, and relationships such as monitoring, load balancing, routing, and API dependencies. Where the existing vertical and horizontal views each focus on a specific subset of relationships, the All topology view gives you the complete picture of what's connected and how. Available from any Smartscape node in any app across the Dynatrace platform.
Platform | Smartscape
Ad-hoc node and edge filters let you focus Smartscape views on what matters. Filter by node type, cloud and infrastructure labels, team ownership, environment, and other node and edge properties so each view reflects how your business is structured. Filters work alongside segments for quick, focused investigations. Filters are saved to the URL, so you can bookmark and share views with colleagues—segment, timeframe, and filters preserved.

Software Delivery
Metrics ingested from extensions are now enriched with a new dt.openpipeline.source=extension:<extension_name>.
Threat Observability | Security events
Dynatrace now integrates with CrowdStrike to ingest detection findings.
Threat Observability | Security events
Dynatrace now integrates with Checkmarx.
Account Management
Following Endpoints will be deprecated on Mon, 15 Jun 2026 00:00:00 GMT and be sunset on Mon, 11 Jan 2027 00:00:00 GMT:
Application Security
Ingested security.events need to have a timestamp within a range of -1h/+10mins. Security.events with an older timestamp are dropped. Security.events with a new timestamp are set to +10mins. Previously, the accepted timerange was -24h/+10mins. It is still possible to omit the timestamp and let OpenPipeline automatically set it to the current one.
Application Security
The standalone AbuseIPDB and VirusTotal enrichment apps are deprecated and will be removed in June 2026. Their replacement is
Security Enrichment, which provides all the same enrichment capabilities through vendor blueprint connections, along with response mapping, connection sharing, and workflow integration.
What will change: After the grace period ends in June 2026, the native AbuseIPDB and VirusTotal apps will be removed, and existing native connections will stop working. In-app deprecation banners guide you through the migration.
Action plan: Migrate each connection to
Security Enrichment using the vendor blueprint:
Security Enrichment and select New connection.Migration takes approximately 2 minutes per connection.
Infrastructure Observability
The new default feature set for network devices includes only interface status and control plane metrics. The interface traffic, discards, and errors metrics are now available under Interfaces and are no longer part of the default feature set. Metrics in the default feature set can't be unselected directly. However, interface filters can be set to remove the entire interface collection.
The recommended label is assigned to a few feature sets that provide enhanced observability on top of the default feature set. The metrics part of these recommended feature sets is selected by default and can be unselected. For more information, see Best practices for optimizing network monitoring cost.
Infrastructure Observability | Infrastructure & Operations
A new REST API for managing ActiveGate tokens is now available for Latest Dynatrace.
Platform | Dashboards
Starting with Dynatrace version 1.342, Dynatrace will apply stricter validation rules to dashboards and won't display dashboards that fail validation.
Who this affects: This will mainly affect dashboards created or modified via the API or external AI tools. Dashboards created and maintained using
Dashboards can’t fail validation unless you modify them otherwise.
Dashboards will display a warning and a failure reason, but the dashboard will continue to load as usual.Action plan: If you want to continue using a dashboard that failed validation, you need to fix it before Dynatrace version 1.342.
Use Edit JSON to update the dashboard.
Platform | Dashboards
Hidden multi-select variables now always resolve to * (all options), and hidden single-select variables resolve to the first available value from the query results. This removes inconsistent behavior in which hidden variables that depend on visible variables can produce unpredictable values. If you previously relied on a static default value for a hidden select variable, use a text variable instead.
