Dynatrace Managed release notes version 1.282

Rollout start: Jan 9, 2024

New features and enhancements

Updated information about vulnerable functions on process restart

Application Security | Vulnerabilities

OneAgent version 1.279+

If new information about the vulnerable functions of a vulnerability is available, a Restart required notification informs you that a process restart is required for OneAgent to pick up and use the new data. You can easily navigate to the specific processes that require a restart by filtering for Vulnerable functions: Restart required on the remediation tracking pages for process groups and processes. For details, see FAQ: How can I know if information about vulnerable functions is outdated and what can I do about it?.

New settings schema for mobile app settings on an environment

Infrastructure Observability | Events

A new settings schema, builtin:mobile.notifications, has been introduced for mobile app settings in an environment. Managed customers can also adapt the setting on the cluster level. The new setting allows you to enable/disable all notifications to mobile apps for the environment. For Managed customers, this also enables/disables the QR code generation to connect new mobile apps.

Go to Settings and select Integration > Dynatrace mobile app.

Automatic alerting for High GC activity now also supports cloud-native Full-Stack scenario

Application Observability | Services

Automatic alerting for High GC activity is now evaluated on the cluster side, so it works for cloud-native Full-Stack and standalone/PaaS scenarios. With this improvement, automatic alerts on High GC activities will also work in cloud-native Full-Stack and Application-only scenarios. To verify your setup, see Out-of-memory (OOM) and out-of-threads (OOT) events and alerting.

URL obfuscation in problem notifications

Infrastructure Observability | Problems

Problem custom integrations now allow the URL to be configured as a secret.

Informational Davis events ingested more than a day in the future can be immediately queried

Infrastructure Observability | Events

Informational Davis events that have been ingested more than a day in the future can now be immediately queried with a future timeframe.

Problem feed productivity improvements

Infrastructure Observability | Problems

The following Problem feed productivity improvements are now available:

Increased default reporting limits for known single-server event contexts

Infrastructure Observability | Events

Event reporting limit defaults have been increased for metric events and availability for which a single server sends all event reports. This should stabilize event lifecycles for such event explosions by avoiding dropped refresh reports due to server-specific reporting limits.

Credential access extended to specified users

Digital Experience | Synthetic Monitoring

In addition to making a credential available to just the owner or to all users, you can now specify a list of users who can access the credential. The credential owner specifies this list of Users with access, who can then use the credential, for example, to create or edit synthetic monitors.

Container entities created based on ActiveGate Kubernetes monitoring data

Infrastructure Observability | Kubernetes

Container entities are created based on ActiveGate Kubernetes monitoring data for app-enabled clusters (Kubernetes App).

Kubernetes node details links to host

Infrastructure Observability | Kubernetes

A link to the host is now displayed in the header of the Kubernetes node details page.

Synthetic container CPU limit increased

Digital Experience | Synthetic Monitoring

To avoid excessive CPU throttling of Synthetic VUC Worker containers on heavily utilized locations, the CPU limit has been increased from 1 to 1.5 cores in the Kubernetes/OpenShift template. The new value is included in the hardware requirements.

New request attribute sources available for CICS/IMS

Application Observability | Distributed traces

Support for the following request attribute sources has been added:

Cassandra upgrade

Starting with Dynatrace Managed version 1.282, configuration and metric storage service has been upgraded to Cassandra 4.0.11 for optimized performance and resilience.

Dynatrace API
