Full version history

✨ New in this version (2.4.3):

  • Added the following metric to the new Advanced interfaces feature set:
    • com.dynatrace.extension.network_device.if.lastchange

Full version history

Fixed in this version:

  • In some cases, the topology rules would end up creating extra network:interface entities which would be disconnected from the rest of the topology

Full version history

⚠️ IMPORTANT CHANGE:

Metrics in "default" feature set will always be enabled and cannot be disabled. These metrics are mandatory. Take extra caution configuring devices and interfaces for which you are collecting data. Make use of Interface filters to limit the number of interfaces, otherwise, all interfaces on the device will be collected by default. In case you do not wish to collect interfaces on your device, enter $eq(!) in the "Interface Name" filter field on the Feature Sets screen during configuration.

  • Default network metrics moved into the "default" feature set, specifically Interface metrics.

⚠️ Additional notes:

  • You must disable the old "neighbor-discovery" feature set in order to update
  • SNMP Health metrics will be disabled by default when first updating (due to the feature set change)

Fixed in this version:

  • Network charts for these devices in the Infrastructure Operations app would have DQL execution errors

Improved in this version:

  • SNMP Health metrics moved into a separate feature set for SNMP
  • Neighbour Discovery (LLDP) feature set was removed. This is now handled by the SNMP Autodiscovery extension for any kind of device

New in this version:

  • Security Context is applied to entities
