Dynatrace Managed release notes version 1.176
New features and enhancements
More flexible SAML configuration
Our default settings work well for most SSO servers that utilize the SAML protocol. However, for legacy services, testing and development purposes, or to reduce the time-to-start with SSO, you need to perform an advanced adjustment. To support these cases, we now provide an advanced Single Sign-on settings page that enables the following features:
-
Signature algorithm - Used to encode/decode SAML requests and responses. Two algorithms are available: RSA-
SHA256
andRSA-SHA1
-
Digest algorithm - Validates the integrity of messages. Two algorithms are available:
SHA-256
andSHA-1
-
SAML response signature validation - Used for configuration of different security levels by validating the integrity of messages. Available options include:
document
,assertion
,both
, ornone
. -
SAML response fields validation
Increase your productivity by activating your Dynatrace Community account
Following your first sign-in to Dynatrace Managed, you should receive an email inviting you to activate your Dynatrace Community account as part of your subscription. The updated email alerts you to the fact that having a Community account enables you to:
- Post questions and ideas in the Dynatrace Community.
- Access the Support portal and Dynatrace University.
- Participate in our Community recognition programs.
Additionally, we’ve updated the activation endpoint to sso.internal.dynatrace.com
.
Other changes
- Straightforward scaling down of clusters with a single click. No more need to disable OneAgent traffic beforehand.
- Backup process was improved to not utilize all available host network and CPU resources. Network bandwidth utilization is limited to 30MB/s which is appropriate for 1 Gbps connections.
- Cluster node's firewall now explicitly allows responses to any outgoing connections so, for example, the export of user session data is possible
- Cluster upgrade notification emails now contain a link to the release notes page so you can quickly understand recent and upcoming changes. See also product idea at Dynatrace Community forum.
- Security fix for Dynatrace Cluster Management API

Component | Resolved issues |
---|---|
Synthetic | 1 |
Cluster | 7 |
Other | 12 |
Code-Level | 5 |
Session Replay | 3 |
Autonomous Cloud | 2 |
Core UI | 5 |
Synthetic
- Synthetic HTTP monitors problems lacking information about failing request. (APM-189242)
Cluster
- In case of non synchronised time on Active gate and cluster no data for HTTP Monitor with script. (APM-186303)
- For multi request HTTP check pattern validation not working. (APM-189561)
- Oracle DB Insights: query about most time consuming statements was forced to not perform unnecessary merge. (APM-191332)
- Switching the "Infrastructure Only" flag while a rolling cluster update is in progress may lead to config updates being missed by restarting servers. This may ultimately lead to missing switches of OneAgents to this mode. The race condition is now fixed. (APM-183831)
- Support for .NET core dumps with a different naming concept was missing. We added support for .NET core dumps as well. (APM-185913)
- If you open the api explorer url without the index.jsp, there is an endless redirect between '/rest-api-doc/' and '/rest-api-doc'. This was caused by a filter inconsistency regarding the path naming resolution,. (APM-186323)
- The filecache directory on the ActiveGate to host raw installer files resides in the "temp" directory which was cleared while the ActiveGate was running (removing the filecache directory along the way). The filecache did not try to recreate the directory (this was only done on startup). Now we always ensure that the directory exists. (APM-187549)
Other
- Host page for PaaS hosts was presenting reclaimable memory series which should not be visible for such type of hosts. (APM-187445)
- Performance improvements on process details page. (APM-186621)
- On process page description of availability section was not properly adjusted to currently selected timeframe. (APM-190630)
- Network overview - wrong sorting of entities (case-sensitive problem). (APM-186647)
- Fixed processes list display issues - cropped view on narrows screens (like tablet). (APM-187476)
- On process further details page, some isolated points might have duplicates created at 9 seconds after the real point. (APM-187699)
- HTTP request for synthetic module details for ActiveGates is now sent only if user has permission to do it (CONFIG_READ permission). (APM-188282)
- HTTP request for PAAS tokens was always sent, even if user didn't have permission to get them and it eventually ended in error page. Now this request is only sent if user has permission (has CONFIG_READ permission). In addition, possibility to add new tokens is allowed only if user has CONFIG_WRITE and DOWNLOAD_AGENT permission. (APM-188539)
- Change wrong Elastic Compute Service label to Elastic Compute Cloud on hosts list. (APM-189708)
- User session REST export sends data with invalid format. (APM-187767)
- USQL: Filtering by bounce true/false does not always work. (APM-189548)
- ActiveGate now discards beacons of unmonitored mobile/custom apps that did not yet receive the configuration update to turn off capturing. (APM-186296)
Code-Level
- Service call IO times must be stored on database nodes (currently they are not, even if they are available). This fix will change the values of the displayed times in the PurePath view and in Response Time Hotspot/Analysis. (APM-187868)
- Sometimes, instead of its name, an internal ID for request attributes is shown. (APM-188621)
- In a chain [web request] -> [custom service] -> [outgoing web request], a request attribute captured on the client side is not propagated to the parent web request. (APM-190448)
- Request attribute method argument capturing now disallows instrumentation of java core classes. (APM-190493)
- Exception summary view sometimes showed too many asterisks, making the message unreadable. (APM-187970)

Core UI
- An error page after deleting the currently selected management zone. (APM-184082)
- Management zone filter is incorrectly autocompleted by the browser. (APM-187946)
- Problem counter does not take management zones into account on some pages. (APM-188984)
- "Pin to dashboard" panel is not preselected with the default dashboard. (APM-190087)
