Other upcoming support changes

  • 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. Going forward, only combinations with Java 7 or higher will be supported
  • 32bit versions of Go applications OneAgent 1.181 will be the last version that will support 32bit Go lang applications. 99.99 percent of all go applications are 64bit, which is why we decided not to support 32bit any longer.

Cloud platform support

Azure

  • Dynatrace integration of Azure Monitor now allows the consumption of Azure Alerts via webhooks. Alerts are automatically translated into events, which can be either problem-raising events or informational events. Make use of Azure Monitor capabilties such as metric alerts or activity log alerts to add even more details.

Kubernetes

  • OneAgent Operator version 0.4.1 and 0.4.2 release includes bugfixes for automatic configuration of Istio.
  • Dynatrace fully supports vanilla Kubernetes 1.16 clusters with underlying Docker, containerd, and CRI-O container runtimes on Linux. Support for Kubernetes 1.16 requires OneAgent Operator v0.4.2 or higher.
  • Redirects of requests to Kubernetes configuration API will be removed with OneAgent version 1.181.

Cloud Foundry

  • The Dynatrace API provides an immutable full BOSH release for rolling out full-stack monitoring for any BOSH managed Linux VMs, including Cloud Foundry. This BOSH release contains and ships with OneAgent. It supplements the (still) fully supported bootstrapping BOSH release in our GitHub repository. More information is available in the Dynatrace help documentation for the OneAgent BOSH release.
  • Dynatrace now also supports Pivotal Cloud Foundry PAS version 2.7. For details refer to the Dynatrace support model for full-stack PCF PAS monitoring.

Support changes

  • PCF PAS version 2.3.x (End of general support by Pivotal in August 2019). OneAgent version 1.179 is the last version that supports PCF version 2.3.x.
  • PCF PAS version 2.4.x OneAgent version 1.181 will be the last version that supports PCF version 2.3.x.
  • Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform 3.7 and lower (end of maintenance support by Red Hat ended in July 2019). OneAgent version 1.179 is the last version that supports OpenShift 3.7.
  • Red Hat OpenShift 3.9 & 3.10 will no longer be supported since OneAgent version 1.183.
  • Kubernetes versions 1.9 or lower are no longer actively maintained by the K8s community. The major public cloud providers offer managed Kubernetes 1.10 and higher. OneAgent version 1.179 is the last version that supports Kubernetes 1.9.

General improvements

WebSphere

Starting with OneAgent 1.177, WebSphere Application Servers will be detected as distinct process instances, even when multiple cluster members (JVMs) of the same cluster run on the same host. This change doesn't impact the composition of process groups or services and can be overriden as shown in Adapt the composition of default process groups.
