Rollout start: Feb 28, 2023

Announcements

Discontinue legacy Kubernetes container metrics

Infrastructure Monitoring | Kubernetes

The following metrics will be discontinued starting with Dynatrace version 1.264:

Deprecated metrics

Containers

CPU

Metric keyName and descriptionUnitAggregations
builtin:containers.cpu.throttledMilliCores.legacy

[Deprecated] Containers: CPU throttling, mCores

CPU throttling per container in millicores. Deprecated metric for historical data access only. For regular access, use builtin:containers.cpu.throttledMilliCores instead.

Millicoresautoavgmaxmin
builtin:containers.cpu.usageMilliCores.legacy

[Deprecated] Containers: CPU usage, mCores

CPU usage per container in millicores. Deprecated metric for historical data access only. For regular access, use builtin:containers.cpu.usageMilliCores instead.

Millicoresautoavgmaxmin
builtin:containers.cpu.usagePercent.legacy

[Deprecated] Containers: CPU usage, % of limit

Percent CPU usage per container relative to CPU resource limit. Logical cores is used if CPU limit is not set. Deprecated metric for historical data access only. For regular access, use builtin:containers.cpu.usagePercent instead.

Percent (%)autoavg
builtin:containers.cpu.throttlingRatio

[Deprecated] Containers: CPU throttling ratio

CPU resource limit per container.

Ratioautoavgmaxmin

Memory

Metric keyName and descriptionUnitAggregations
builtin:containers.memory.residentSetBytes.legacy

[Deprecated] Containers: Memory usage, bytes

Resident set size (Linux) or private working set size (Windows) per container in bytes. Deprecated metric for historical data access only. For regular access, use builtin:containers.memory.residentSetBytes instead.

Byteautoavgmaxmin
builtin:containers.memory.usagePercent.legacy

[Deprecated] Containers: Memory usage, % of limit

Resident set size (Linux) or private working set size (Windows) per container in percent relative to container memory limit. If no limit is set, this equals total physical memory. Deprecated metric for historical data access only. For regular access, use builtin:containers.memory.usagePercent instead.

Percent (%)autoavg

Already persisted data can still be read and analyzed, but no data will be migrated into the new metrics. In case any of these six metrics is still in use, please migrate to the superseding metric mentioned in the respective metric description.

New features and enhancements

Enriched Security overview

Application Security | Vulnerabilities

Application Security | Attacks

On the Application Security overview page, the following new features are available:

  • The infographic of key features now displays the number of

    • Critical third-party vulnerabilities
    • Code-level vulnerabilities
      • If code-level vulnerability detection is disabled, this feature isn't displayed.
    • Attacks that happened over the last 30 days
      • If Runtime Application Protection isn't activated and enabled, this feature isn't displayed.

    infographic-new

  • A new tab for code-level vulnerabilities displays

    • The currently open code-level vulnerabilities and the evolution of code-level vulnerabilities over the last 30 days.
    • A chart of the code-level vulnerabilities in your global environment over the last 30 days.
      • If code-level vulnerability detection is disabled, the code-level vulnerabilities tab is not displayed.

Management zones in metric events

Cross Solutions | Davis AI

Users with permission from management zones can now create metric event configurations. Additionally, they can now see all configurations belonging to their management zones.

Management zones set up via the dimensional data rules are not supported for metric events.

Event descriptions

Cross Solutions | Davis AI

Descriptions of built-in events are now available via the Events API v2.

Property filter in problem alerting profiles

Cross Solutions | Davis AI

In addition to the custom event filtering rules in problem alerting profiles, the property filter has been added. This allows filtering by key:value properties. The new property filter can join up to 20 properties and group them by AND logic.

PVC monitoring outside the Kubernetes cluster

Infrastructure Monitoring | Kubernetes

The Monitor persistent volume claims setting is now also available if your ActiveGate is running outside the Kubernetes cluster, and therefore can be enabled via the Kubernetes monitoring settings defined by the API URL and bearer token. To enable this feature, grant the node/metrics permission on the ClusterRole used for Kubernetes API monitoring.

Enable ActiveGate properties for namespace entity extraction

Infrastructure Monitoring | Kubernetes

Persistent volume claim metrics are now enriched with namespace entity.

Number of conditions on Kubernetes workload page

Infrastructure Monitoring | Kubernetes

On the Kubernetes workload page, the number of conditions is now dynamically displayed in Conditions on the notifications bar.

Host page properties

Infrastructure Monitoring | Hosts

The following properties are now added to the host overview page:

  • Paas type
  • Paas memory limit
  • Cloud foundry foundation
  • BOSH stemcell version

Host page AWS properties

Infrastructure Monitoring | Hosts

The following AWS properties are now added to the host overview page:

  • AWS name tag
  • Beanstalk environment name
  • Security groups

Cross Solutions | Davis AI

Users with permission from management zones can now create metric event configurations. Additionally, they can now see all configurations belonging to their management zones.

Management zones set up via the dimensional data rules are not supported for metric events.

Cluster

  • In the problem alerting profile evaluation summary, disabled event title and description filters are now correctly reflected in the evaluation summary. (DAVIS-3438)
  • Corrected 403 error related to IAM permissions that occurred when creating a calculated service metric via multidimensional analysis. (TI-5097)
  • Severity of logs "ActiveGate not found" and "failed to assign config to ActiveGate" changed from "Warning" to "Error". (EXT-3710)
  • Fixed issue where RUM was not disabled on Dynatrace Managed environments when the DEM quota was exceeded. (LIMA-6257)
  • We fixed an issue where higher port numbers are displayed incorrectly on the Kubernetes service ports table. (K8S-5038)
  • Fixed issue that prevented adding extensions with process grouping rules. (HOST-2140)
  • Fixed: user with Management Zone only access rights might get unexpected 403 page when editing host's plugins configuration. (TI-5183)
  • In addition to the custom event filtering rules in problem alerting profiles, the property filter has been added. This allows filtering by key:value properties. The new property filter can join up to 20 properties and group them by AND logic. (DAVIS-2672)
  • Resolved issue that caused anomaly detection settings for device application key user actions to be ignored if the device application's load was dropped completely. (DAVIS-3419)

ActiveGate

  • Misleading description of unsupported option `--enable-synthetic --disable-browser-monitors` has been removed from ActiveGate installer help. (DMX-2850)

Synthetic monitoring

  • Corrected error that could prevent changing frequency and/or locations for a Synthetic monitor in the web UI. (SYNTH-3633)
