This page showcases new features, changes, and bug fixes in Dynatrace SaaS version 1.340. It contains:
FinOps
Proactive Cost Intelligence across your entire stack
Use Dynatrace Cost Intelligence to understand your costs, act before they spike, and optimize with ease.
FinOps best practices
Managing and optimizing Dynatrace costs just got clearer. We've published new Optimize documentation that guides DPS customers through the full journey from understanding to optimizing costs, aligned with the FinOps Foundation framework.
Self-service usage and cost insights
We've introduced self-service usage and cost insights as a ready-made Usage - Overview dashboard to guide you from free trial to full deployment with a consistent experience.
If you're on a free trial, you can now see exactly how your usage maps to cost, so there are no surprises. As an existing customer, you get actionable insights with drilldowns to quickly identify cost spikes, root causes, and the teams responsible, accessible as ready-made Dashboards or out of Account Management.
Cost Intelligence for deep analytics and optimization
Use Dynatrace to understand, predict, and optimize usage, no further expertise required. Ask questions like:
Try: "I received a cost alert that costs have increased. Can you check if you find anything notable?"
What you'll get: A full drilldown into your events with the root cause surfaced directly-no manual exploration needed.
Try: "Based on my log ingest usage over the last 90 days, can you predict my next 30 days?"
What you'll get: A capability-level prediction based on your actual consumption, useful when onboarding new teams.
Try: "Looking at optimizing my log query usage-are there any queries duplicated by multiple users?"
What you'll get: Insights into overlapping queries with direct suggestions on how to improve.
Feature updates
Account Management | Cost Management
Maintenance of DDU consumption metering
Technical foundations for DDU consumption metering for classic licenses regarding Logs on Grail and Bizevents on Grail are reworked for maintenance reasons. The consumption logic itself does not change.
During the hour when this transition takes place, you may see a DDU consumption gap within a single billing hour affecting the following metrics:
Account Management | Subscriptions and Licensing
Single POD email for combined Amend & Extend subscription orders
You can now select the Amend and Extend POD template, so you can receive a single POD email containing both amended subscription changes and new renewal subscription terms.
AI Observability | AI Observability
Added Python support for GenAI services and frameworks
OneAgent version 1.339+ Dynatrace version 1.340+
OneAgent now provides automatic instrumentation for Python applications that use AWS Bedrock, OpenAI, Azure OpenAI, and LangChain.
Application Observability | Distributed Tracing
Investigate traces faster with clarity and navigation improvements in Distributed Tracing
Several enhancements make it easier to analyze and navigate trace data in Distributed Tracing.
Application Observability | Log Analytics
Log module self-monitoring enabled by default for Grail
The Dynatrace log module now emits self-monitoring events that deliver an environment-wide health overview for OneAgent and Kubernetes log modules. You can detect and resolve log ingest issues across distributed fleets faster, with self-service troubleshooting based on per-source status and health signals.
What's new:
Where to find it:
Enabled by default for Grail; available as opt-in for Log Monitoring Classic (LMv2).
Application Observability | Services
Explorer Preview with service map and primary Grail Fields filtering in Services app
Services now includes a visual service map that shows service-to-service relationships and messaging flows, with performance and health indicators overlaid on the topology. That makes it the fastest way to understand blast radius during an incident, with topology context, performance signals, and bottlenecks visible in a single view without switching views. You can also filter services directly by primary Grail fields such as , , , and ; the same attributes that power segments across Dynatrace.
Both capabilities are available in the ExplorerPreview view and are open for feedback before General Availability. For more details, see Community .
Digital Experience | Users & Sessions
Full-screen mode for Session Replay
You can now watch Session Replay in full-screen mode.
Infrastructure Observability | Infrastructure & Operations
Platform tokens for classic network zone APIs
Added support for platform tokens for classic network zone REST APIs.
Infrastructure Observability | Infrastructure & Operations
Platform tokens for classic ActiveGate APIs
Added support for platform tokens for classic ActiveGate REST APIs.
Infrastructure Observability | Infrastructure & Operations
Platform tokens for classic OneAgent APIs
Added support for platform tokens for classic OneAgent REST APIs.
Platform
What's New - now in-product
All product news right in the product-searchable, filterable, shareable.
Platform | Dashboards
In Dashboards and Notebooks, in the table visualization, the record details viewer now groups fields by main type. This includes primary tags and topology fields, as well as fields hidden by table column settings.
Platform | DQL
Durations now also support decimal numbers
Duration literals (h, m, s, ms, us, ns) now also support decimal numbers.
Examples:
If sub-nano precision is used, decimals are cut off:
Note:
This is only supported for durations, not for calendar durations.
Platform | Problems
Additional event REST endpoints
Environments created on or after January 26, 2026, can now access the and REST endpoints. These endpoints are needed to be able to correctly create the events ingest payload.
Platform | Smartscape
Locate specific nodes across any Smartscape view
You can now search for nodes by name or ID across all Smartscape views, including modal views. Press Ctrl+F (or Cmd+F on Mac) to focus the new search field-Dynatrace highlights matching nodes in the graph and narrows the legend to the matching entity groups. The legend is also interactive: expand any entity type to see its nodes and jump to them in the graph without typing a query.
Threat Observability | Security events
Checkmarx integration
Dynatrace now integrates with Checkmarx. For details, see Checkmarx Ingest .
Breaking changes
Infrastructure Observability | Infrastructure & Operations
Deprecation of ActiveGate auto-update API
The ActiveGate auto-update configuration API is deprecated. Instead, use the Settings 2.0 API with the schema ID.
Infrastructure Observability | Infrastructure & Operations
New REST API for host-based ActiveGate deployment
A new REST API is now available for deploying the ActiveGate installer and retrieving connection information. Unlike the classic API, this API supports non-preconfigured installers, enabling deployment without environment-specific preconfiguration.
Platform | Dashboards
Stricter validation for dashboards
Starting with Dynatrace version 1.342, Dynatrace will apply stricter validation rules to dashboards and won't display dashboards that fail validation.
Who this affects: This will mainly affect dashboards created or modified via the API or external AI tools. Dashboards created and maintained using Dashboards cannot fail validation unless you modify them otherwise.
Action plan: If you want to continue using a dashboard that failed validation, you need to fix it before Dynatrace version 1.342.
Use Edit JSON to update the dashboard.
