Dynatrace Managed release notes version 1.232

These release notes relate to Dynatrace Managed specific changes. To learn about general Dynatrace changes included in this Dynatrace Managed release, see:

New features and enhancements

  • Log Monitoring API v2 response change: each element's value in the structure is now an array of strings rather than just a string.
  • The Service-level objectives (SLO) wizard has been redesigned:
    • All input fields are on one page with three expandable sections to define an SLO.
    • A new preview section enables you to test the definition iteratively against actual values before creating the SLO.
  • Removed seven-day preview from create/edit custom event for alerting pages.
  • Redesigned "Maintenance windows" page to take advantage of Settings 2.0.
  • Custom service detection settings have been moved to Settings > Service detection in preparation for Settings 2.0 conversion of rule-based service detection settings.
  • The application Health check page (from the application overview page, select More () > Health check) now has a checklist to quickly highlight configuration-induced issues that could prevent RUM data from being received.
  • The display ID of a problem is now sent as an additional property for ServiceNow event notifications in the field .
  • Creating an SLO, if you are not an admin, now requires adding the proper management zone filter in the entity selector, where you have to add a management zone for which you have write access. If you do not have tenant-wide permissions, you can access the SLO settings page and see the SLOs that belong to management zones to which you have access, and you can can edit the SLOs that belong to management zones to which you have write access.
  • Dynatrace Hub recommendations added to Kubernetes details page for OpenShift clusters.
  • On the Service-level objectives page, the Actions > Edit SLO entry has been renamed SLO definition. It opens the corresponding SLO on the Service-level objective definitions page, where you can view or edit the SLO definition (depending on your permissions).
  • Improved load time of Dynatrace Managed web UI in case of problems with connection to Mission Control.
  • Calculated app, log, and service metrics now consume Davis data units (Metrics pool).
  • Dynatrace Community related settings are renamed to Support resources and live chat.
