With this release, the oldest supported OneAgent versions are:

Java

z/OS

.Net Core

• Added automatic Real User Monitoring (RUM) injection for ASP.NET Core applications running on a Kestrel web server. To enable this as a OneAgent feature
  1. In the Dynatrace menu, go to Settings > Server-side service monitoring > Deep monitoring.
  2. Expand the New OneAgent features section, find Enable Real User Monitoring (RUM) for ASP.NET Core, and turn it on.

OneAgent SDK for Android

New features and enhancements

Installer

On Windows, usage of legacy dtuser will be implicitly converted to Local System account during update.

Log Monitoring

The OneAgent log module is able to extract attributes from log content and enrich log records. The OneAgent log module now processes the enriched log data, improving performance. For details, see Connecting log data to traces (Logs Classic).

OneAgent watchdog

Two new parameters were introduced (currently used only in OneAgent Linux installation):

• coredump.non_root_use_sigquit

  If set and watchdog is started with a non-root user (uid != 0), watchdog sends SIGQUIT signal to child process in case of ping timeout, memory exceeded, or shutdown timeout to trigger a core dump. Default: false

• non_root_drop_capabilities

  If set and watchdog is started with a non-root user (uid != 0), watchdog drops all capabilities after initialization (before starting any child processes) and marks its own process as dumpable (prctl(PR_SET_DUMPABLE, 1)). Default: false

Operating systems

• Added support for CentOS Stream 9
• Added support for Ubuntu 21.10
• Added support for IBM AIX 7.3 TL0
