v2.3.0

Minimum Dynatrace Cluster version 1.318

⚠️ Note: This version moves existing DNS network latency metrics to a new feature set called, DNS Latency (5 min averages). To continue monitoring with these metrics, this new feature set must be enabled. After upgrading the extension, edit monitoring configurations and enable DNS Latency (5 min averages) or the new DNS Latency (1 min averages) feature set to continue DNS latency monitoring.

What's new

  • New DNS network latency metrics (1 minute average) feature set, DNS Latency (1 min average). These 1-minute average metrics are now the recommended DNS latency metrics. Customers can select one or both feature sets for DNS latency monitoring.
    • snmp.infoblox.dns.ibNetworkMonitorDNSAAT5AvgLatency
    • snmp.infoblox.dns.ibNetworkMonitorDNSAAT5Count
    • snmp.infoblox.dns.ibNetworkMonitorDNSNonAAT5AvgLatency
    • snmp.infoblox.dns.ibNetworkMonitorDNSNonAAT5Count
  • Existing DNS latency metrics with a 5-minute average are moved to a new feature set, "DNS Latency (5 min average)".
