The latest version of Dynatrace log monitoring works properly with OneAgent 1.217 or later. Earlier OneAgent versions are not supported.

How can I upgrade from legacy Log Monitoring v1 to Log Management and Analytics?

To enable the latest version of Log Monitoring in Dynatrace:

Make sure that you're running the latest version of Dynatrace.
In the Dynatrace menu, go to Logs.
In the banner message, select Go to activation page and select Activate Logs powered by Grail. If you do not see Go to activation page banner or Activate Grail for log and events settings page, contact a Dynatrace product expert via live chat to ask for support.

Why can’t I see a button to self-upgrade to Log Management and Analytics?

You might see a banner in the product interface, informing you of Log Monitoring v1 end of life and advising you to upgrade, without a dedicated activation button. In that case, reach out to your account team or Dynatrace support and update your contract to be eligible for Log Management and Analytics powered by Grail.
