Web servers

Apache HTTP

Microsoft IIS

Envoy

NGINX

The support expressed as NGINX 1.11.5+ and R11+ indicates all the latest NGINX versions. Standard NGINX package sources are regularly discovered by Dynatrace to support the latest binaries. Support for the latest NGINX releases is included in the next subsequent OneAgent releases (usually within two weeks of each NGINX release). For more information, see NGINX

For NGINX, Dynatrace provides information about:

• All incoming requests.
• Outgoing requests that originate from one of the following:

Dynatrace maintains an updated full list of supported NGINX binaries.

Varnish Cache

Real User Monitoring

Web-based Real User Monitoring

Browsers

All modern browsers with JavaScript and cookies enabled are supported, but only the browsers below are tested.

Note:

• Compatibility View for Internet Explorer (IE) versions earlier than 8 isn't supported, except for IE11, in which Compatibility View for IE7 is supported. However, we still inject our RUM JavaScript tag into all pages. If you don't want the RUM JavaScript tag to be injected into officially unsupported versions, you'll need to define appropriate browser exclusion rules in your application settings.

Browsers for session recording

Note: Session recording is not supported for IE11 that has been configured with the IE7 compatibility mode.

Async requests and single page applications

Dynatrace offers generic support for every application via XHR or Fetch() API, but offers also special support for the JavaScript frameworks listed below.

Real User Monitoring auto-injection

Real User Monitoring auto-injection is done by OneAgent and is supported for the following technologies/servers.

ActiveGate extensions

Metric ingestion data sources

Private Synthetic locations

See Requirements for private Synthetic locations.

Support Levels for 3rd Party Technologies

Supported

We provide support for any problems directly caused by Dynatrace. Dynatrace has access to this technology and can typically reproduce common problems in-house but an environment may have to be set up on-demand.

Limited support

Dynatrace provides support for a limited set of functionality for a particular technology. In most cases Dynatrace does not have access to technology that has limited support. For any problems Dynatrace support will be able to help you, if it can reproduce the problem in the fully supported technology that forms basis for the limited support.
