Dynatrace SaaS release notes version 1.232

  • Automatic connection of logs and traces accelerates AI-driven cloud analytics

    As digital transformation continues to accelerate and enterprises modernize with the adoption of cloud-native architectures, the number of interconnected components and microservices is exploding. Logs are a critical ingredient in managing and optimizing these application environments. Dynatrace now unifies log monitoring with its patented PurePath technology for distributed tracing and code-level analysis. Logs are now automatically connected to distributed traces for faster analysis and optimization of cloud-native and hybrid applications.

Kubernetes monitoring

If until now you could only connect your Kubernetes clusters to Dynatrace via a public Kubernetes API, you now have an easier alternative: connect your clusters via a local Kubernetes API endpoint.
