Announcements

Davis Assistant end of life

Dynatrace Davis Assistant will reach end of life on January 31, 2023. After this date, the service will be shut down, and interactions with Davis Assistant will no longer be possible. Existing integrations, for example, with Slack or Microsoft Teams, will cease to work at that time.

For options and best practices on managing the push of problem notifications to your preferred third-party incident management or ChatOps service, see problem notifications documentation.

New features and enhancements

Predictable data retention management

When there's not enough free disk space to store new data, the Dynatrace Managed cluster automatically adjusts the retention times of data stored in Elasticsearch and transaction storage if both are placed on the same disk partition. The data retention adjustment is applied equally to all environments in the cluster.

Application Security threat intelligence automatically updated

To ensure you always have up-to-date Dynatrace threat intelligence in the Application Security module, third-party vulnerability feed metadata is automatically downloaded from Mission Control. If you have enabled Application Security, you can't opt out from downloading the metadata—it's an essential part of this solution. Feeds are downloaded on demand. You can audit each successful and failed attempt on the Cluster Management Console Events page.

Improved SAML-based SSO configuration

The HTTP Content Security Policy (CSP) form-action directive restricts the URLs that can be used as the target of form submissions from a given context. If there is a redirect from the Identity Provider (IdP) to other hosts during sign-in or sign-out, you can add them in the new configuration input field.

Upgraded JRE

To take advantage of performance improvements, the latest security-vulnerability enhancements, and bug fixes, we've upgraded JRE for the following cluster node components:

Improved email validation in CMC

When setting up user accounts and notifications, you can now use email addresses with a single letter in a top-level domain.

Simplified file structure of Dynatrace Managed installation

When a custom Linux system user is used to run Dynatrace Managed services, there was a custom directory created under the user's home directory (/home/<user running managed>/.javacpp/cache/). This is the technical directory that was moved to /var/opt/dynatrace-managed/.javacpp/cache/ to ease the management of the deployment.
