Early Adopter release features

New features are introduced in an Early Adopter release phase on an opt-in basis. Early Adopter release features are publicly available, fully supported, production-ready, and available as a user opt-in. Early Adopter release features consume licensing units in exactly the same way that GA features consume licensing units.

The following Early Adopter release features are currently available:

OneAgent features

New OneAgent features are fully supported and tested as soon as they’re available. With Dynatrace version 1.242+, there isn't a distinction between OneAgent features and Troubleshooting features.

  • For new enviroments, you can activate or deactive OneAgent features (opt-in) based on the specific use case.
  • For existing environments, newly added OneAgent features still require explicit activation from users with Write settings (settings.write) permission on the builtin:oneagent.features schema. To learn how to active OneAgent features, consult the dedicated page.
