Dynatrace SaaS release notes version 1.244

Announcements

Classic user sessions page end-of-life

We are deprecating the classic User sessions page soon and replacing it with a more powerful page for session segmentation. To stay tuned, keep an eye on our release notes.

New features and enhancements

Synthetic Monitoring

• On-demand synthetic monitor executions: For CI/CD pipeline integration and spot testing of synthetic monitors, you may trigger on-demand executions of browser monitors and HTTP monitors via the Dynatrace web UI or the API from assigned public or private Synthetic locations. For such executions, you may opt to disable problem detection or exclude them from synthetic monitoring results altogether. This feature requires ActiveGate version 1.233+ on private locations.

• External vault integration for token credentials: In addition to username-password credential pairs, you may now synchronize token credentials with external vaults-Azure Key Vault and HashiCorp Vault.

Application Security

The new security problems indicator on the Dynatrace top bar displays the number of critical or high-security problems in your environment. Select it to navigate to the Third-party vulnerabilities page.

Service-level objectives

A new SLO indicator called Service performance is available when you create an SLO.

Data explorer and dashboards

• In the Dynatrace menu, the Explore data menu item has been renamed Data explorer to align with the feature name.
• Export to CSV file format from the Data explorer is now also available for table visualizations.
• The new Unit visualization setting in the Data explorer enables you to specify the display unit per metric.

Connect your log data to user sessions and Session Replays

A new button, View user session, is available next to the View trace button in the log viewer. This button allows you to navigate from a log entry to the user session and Session Replay in the scope the log was triggered.

This immediately provides frontend context and allows you to optimize and troubleshoot your applications much quicker.

To use this feature, you need to connect your log data to traces and have Real User Monitoring, and optionally Session Replay enabled.
