OneAgent

Java

Support for shaded Apache Axis2 clients (for example, the client packaged with Pega)
Support for tracing of asynchronous code execution within Spring integrations

.NET

Support for Microsoft Azure Service Bus Client for .NET is available in a General Availability (GA) release, providing end-to-end tracing for Azure ServiceBus Queue and Topics.
Support for .NET Remoting is now available in a GA release, providing end-to-end tracing for legacy .NET Remoting applications.
Support for IBM MQ Client is now available in a GA release, providing end-to-end tracing for IBM MQ using the .NET client library.
OneAgent SDK for .NET (version 1.5.0) now supports the tracing of incoming web requests.
.NET Instrumentation Cache, which improves startup latency, is now General Available (GA).

Node.js

Support for Node.js 12 (long-term support version)

Go

Support for Go versions 1.11.10 and 1.12.5

PHP

Support for PHP NG (PHP next generation) monitoring is now available as an Early Adopter release.

General improvements

OneAgent version 1.171 doesn't require a special license key for allowing installation to Cloud infrastructure monitoring mode. Previous to this, customers who acquired Dynatrace licenses over a year ago had to update their licenses before they could use the cloud-infrastructure monitoring mode. This requirement has been removed; it's now possible to install OneAgent in either the full-stack or cloud-infrastructure modes.
W3C Trace Context headers are now supported and propagated by OneAgent, for details see Distributed tracing with W3C Trace Context for improved end-to-end visibility (Preview)
Improved grouping of Citrix processes
Improved detection of hook directories in CRI-O version 1.12.6+
Reporting of cloud platform type and version for Kubernetes cluster hosts on Windows
Greatly improved performance when retrieving containerD metadata has reduced OneAgent CPU consumption during monitoring of containerD hosts.
An improved heuristic for the discovery of lazy loading of .NET applications has been added.
The Windows Diego Cell discovery heuristic has been improved to match changes in recent Garden for Windows releases.

OneAgent support changes

Dynatrace OneAgent support of the following platforms and components will be discontinued within the next 6 months

PHP 5.6 support has been extended and will reach end-of-life in November 2019
Pivotal Platform PAS version 2.2.x (Pivotal support for this version ended in April 2019. Please consult the Pivotal support matrix for further details). OneAgent version 1.171 is the last version that supports Pivotal Platform version 2.2.x.
Pivotal Platform PAS version 2.3.x (Pivotal support for this version ends in June 2019. Please consult the Pivotal support matrix for further details). OneAgent version 1.175 is the last version that supports Pivotal Platform version 2.3.x.
WebSphere Application Server version 8.0 (EOS by IBM in April 2018) OneAgent 1.183 will be the last version that supports WebSphere v8.0.
Java 6 WebSphere Application Server version 8.5 (EOS by IBM in April 2018) OneAgent 1.183 will be the last version that supports WebSphere version 8.5 with Java 6 (afterward, WebSphere 8.5 can only be used with Java 7)

Cloud Platform support

AWS

We’ve introduced multiple improvements to the AWS CloudWatch monitoring component to avoid API throttling.

Cloud Foundry

Dynatrace now also supports Pivotal Platform PAS version 2.6 with OneAgent BOSH release version 1.2.1. For details refer to the Dynatrace support model for full-stack Pivotal Platform PAS monitoring.
We’ve improved the presentation of Diego cells on the Cloud Foundry overview page. You can now more easily track CPU, memory and disk utilization of Diego cells.

Kubernetes

Dynatrace now supports Red Hat OpenShift 4.1 with CRI-O container runtime.
We’ve introduced container monitoring rules for Kubernetes on Linux as an Early adopter release. Container monitoring rules allow you to leverage Kubernetes properties to control auto-injection of OneAgent into Kubernetes containers. This facilitates the systematic roll-out of full-stack monitoring within large-scale environments based on organizational structures.

ActiveGate

ActiveGate support changes

Here are the de-support plans for ActiveGate

OneAgent version 1.177 will be the last version to support only 32-bit host IDs. By that time, all ActiveGates earlier than version 1.144 must be upgraded to newer releases in order to properly support OneAgent 64 bit IDs. Failure to do this will result in OneAgent being unable to communicate with the Dynatrace Cluster via these earlier versions of ActiveGate. Other than that, this change will be completely transparent.
