Feature updates

Account Management | Cost Management

Cost Allocation for the Metrics - Ingest & Process rate-card capability

You can now allocate costs related to the Metrics - Ingest & Process rate-card capability. Cost Allocation for ingested metrics lets you identify which teams, applications, or business units are responsible for consumption, enhancing transparency and accountability in your organization's billing.

For more information, see Allocate your DPS costs.

Account Management | Identity Access Management

Manage your AWS encryption keys directly in Dynatrace

You can now use your own AWS encryption key within Dynatrace. Use your own customer-managed key to encrypt and decrypt certain Dynatrace data, such as all Grail data, and documents such as notebooks, workflows, and dashboards.

This functionality is currently opt-in via the preview program, see Manage encryption keys (BYOK). It is available only for SaaS environments hosted on AWS.

For more information, see Manage AWS encryption keys.

Application Observability | Distributed Tracing

Improved service correlation for AWS Lambda function messaging triggers

We've improved the service correlation for messaging triggers in AWS Lambda functions that are monitored by the OneAgent AWS Lambda Layer.

Application Observability | Log Analytics

Access user sessions directly in Logs

You can now drill down from a single log entry to view the related user session, directly within Logs. This extends existing functionalities that give, for example, log topology, human-readable log data, viewing of surrounding logs, and viewing of the related trace.

To view related user sessions, you need to have opted-in in the New Real User Monitoring (RUM) experience and have trace context enriched for front-end requests.

Application Observability | Log Analytics

Adjust log query limits directly in Logs

You can now adjust certain limits directly within Logs, without needing to use DQL. This lets you quickly adjust read data limits, record limits, and result size limits for all queries, so you can spend more time exploring your data. Your configuration is specific to your user, so you can adjust all queries without impacting any other users in your Dynatrace environment.

Application Observability | Log Analytics

Simplified filtering and column management for JSON-structured logs

We've added the ability to filter and add columns from JSON-structured logs in Logs, without using DQL. This simplifies log exploration, saving time and reducing complexity when working with JSON-structured logs. And you can still use the existing DQL mode, where you'll see dedicated functions for handling JSON logs.

Infrastructre Observability | Clouds

New Clouds experience for AWS lets you optimize cloud operations at scale

We've released an enhanced version of Clouds that delivers deeper, actionable insights and context, greater usability, and enhanced troubleshooting for monitored AWS cloud environments. Based on a new AWS cloud connection, metrics, logs, events, metadata, and topology are unified into a single AI-powered platform that delivers complete visibility and actionable insights at scale.

  • An easy onboarding flow to set up new AWS connections for AWS platform monitoring, including guidance through the integration steps. It is GitOps-ready by design and eliminates the need to maintain ActiveGates for ingesting data from AWS CloudWatch. This allows you to manage your stack entirely through code, without infrastructure overhead.

  • A fully reimagined Explorer view that leverages the new Smartscape for AWS resources. This gives you improved filtering, drill-downs, and deep insights into AWS resource(s) and their dependencies, using resource-rich, cloud-native metadata. For custom analytics use cases, you can also query the full AWS topology model and resource configurations with DQL in Notebooks and Dashboards.

  • Opinionated insights and ready-made dashboards for AWS services, categorized service views, and detailed screens to help users quickly assess health, performance, and utilization of their cloud services.

  • Ready-made health alerts and warning signals for key AWS services. The setup is simple and can be done either during AWS account onboarding or via Settings. In addition, we've released complementary templates for setting up custom alerts on popular cloud services directly in Clouds.

  • Native integration with AWS Health, so you can monitor AWS Health issue events and receive notifications directly in Dynatrace.

  • Broad and comprehensive coverage of AWS services and telemetry gives you a complete view of your AWS infrastructure by capturing any metric or log from AWS CloudWatch and any event from AWS EventBridge.

If you're currently using Dynatrace to monitor cloud environments based on classic connections, you don't need to do anything right now. You can continue to use the classic AWS connection and analyze your data in Clouds by using Explorer (Classic connections). If you're just starting to use Dynatrace to monitor cloud environments, we recommend using the new AWS connection so that you can benefit from the additional value of the new Clouds experience.

For more information, see Clouds app.

Digital Experience | Error Inspector

Share error groups via external apps

You can now share error groups via external apps and issue-tracking platforms, such as Jira, Slack, Microsoft Teams, ServiceNow, and email. This helps streamline collaboration so you can speed up incident response. Shared messages are automatically formatted for each platform, which ensures clarity and context.

Infrastructure Observability | Databases

Updated Databases app provides more intuitive database observability, improved troubleshooting, and simplified onboarding

We've updated the Databases user experience to bring you:

  • A new landing page that lets you quickly access database health and the status of monitoring extensions.

  • PostgreSQL database-level visibility, where you can drill down from an instance to individual databases. Additional per-database metrics provide deeper performance and usage insights.

  • A more consistent, intuitive navigation experience across PostgreSQL and MySQL.

  • Improved filtering by tags, so you can efficiently manage and explore large-scale fleets with many hosts and database instances.

  • A new health score indicator that provides clear indicators and supporting metrics to help you quickly understand database performance and stability.

  • New early warning signal configuration options to catch issues before they escalate, and health alerts to automatically let you know if databases become unavailable.

For more information, see Databases app.

Infrastructure Observability | Kubernetes

Enhanced object visibility for monitored Kubernetes clusters

We've introduced enhanced monitoring capabilities for Kubernetes monitoring, which provide deeper insights and improved observability.

In Kubernetes, you now have:

  • Visibility into additional Kubernetes objects: Ingress, NetworkPolicies, CRDs, PVCs, PVs, ConfigMaps, and more.
  • Access to YAML definitions to debug and validate configurations in real time.
  • Ability to query YAMLs across all clusters and namespaces using Dynatrace Query Language (DQL) to instantly surface misconfigurations, missing references, or policy violations across your Kubernetes environment.

As a result of these enhancements, resource consumption of ActiveGates that monitor Kubernetes clusters may increase.

  • CPU usage may increase by up to 25%.
  • Memory usage may increase by up to 25%.

This update affects existing ActiveGates with ActiveGate version 1.326 and lower, which are updated to ActiveGate version 1.327+. For these ActiveGates, we recommend reviewing your ActiveGate resource allocation and planning accordingly to accommodate these changes.

Platform

New configuration option to differentiate between similar event reports

You can now define a correlation tag for all event sources, . Use this optional tag to explicitly create separate events even if the event reports are based on similar event data, such as title and entity.

For more information, see Event analysis and correlation.

Platform | Dashboards

Improved tile layout options for Dashboards

We've improved the Dashboards experience with new ways to add, place, resize, and move tiles. You'll get much faster and smoother tile interactions, enhanced visual feedback, and new tile interaction capabilities.

  • Add or duplicate tiles directly in place for quicker dashboard customization that maintains existing layouts.
  • View tile dimensions and a background grid, which helps with spacing and alignment when you're placing, resizing, or moving tiles.
  • Use keyboard shortcuts to select all tiles and apply bulk changes.
  • Resize or move tiles with drag-and-drop, for easier and more intuitive layouting.

Platform | Davis

Smartscape display names and types aligned with latest Semantic Dictionary conventions

We've updated the display names and types of Smartscape-sourced entities to align with the latest Semantic Dictionary conventions.

Platform | OneAgent

tmpfs monitoring via OneAgent available as opt-in behavior

We've updated OneAgent so it can now monitor tmpfs data on Linux systems. You can activate this monitoring on an opt-in basis, at Settings > Collect and capture > Infrastructure > OS > Enable tmpfs disk monitoring.

Platform | OpenPipeline

Automatic migration of SaaS environments to the OpenPipeline configuration API

Previously, the OpenPipeline configuration API was available on an opt-in basis. Now, we're automatically migrating all environments that have an empty OpenPipeline configuration and haven't opted in to the configuration API. Migrated environments will be informed via a banner in the Dynatrace UI.

If you're already using the OpenPipeline configuration API, you don't need to do anything. Migration for environments with an existing OpenPipeline configuration, who haven't opted in, will be announced in a future SaaS release.

Infrastructure Observability | Infrastructure & Operations

New health alerts and warning signals for more focused infrastructure monitoring

We've added health alerts and warning signals that reduce noise from infrastructure events and improve early detection. This helps you to manage complex environments with clear, focused health insights.

  • Get only the most relevant health indicators.

  • Resource-level warnings highlight emerging issues before they escalate.

  • At-a-glance health context helps you to quickly decide where to investigate first.

Health alerts and warning signals are available out of the box for Clouds, Databases, and Infrastructure & Operations.

Platform | Dashboards

Improved ready-made dashboards to help you get clearer, faster, and more consistent insights

We've enhanced a number of ready-made dashboards that improve your Dashboards experience and make insights clearer, faster, and more consistent across the board. You can duplicate and adapt them to kick-start your own dashboards.

  • The Getting started with Dashboards dashboard demonstrates all major types of visualizations that you can use, and provides example tiles and layouts.

  • The Page performance & errors dashboard serves as a starting place to investigate page performance and web front-end navigations. It surfaces the most important web performance and reliability KPIs at a glance, highlighting key metrics such as page load time, error count, navigations, LCP, INP, and CLS.

  • The XHR & fetch performance dashboard serves as a starting place to investigate and track XHR and fetch performance. It includes core KPIs like request duration, time to first byte (TTFB), and fetch failure rate. These help you quickly spot slow or failing back-end calls that affect the user experience.

FinOps

Cost Allocation export now includes all Dynatrace SaaS capabilities

The Cost Allocation export (available via the API or in Account Management) now includes all Dynatrace SaaS capabilities. Previously, the export included just those capabilities that are configured or already supported by Cost Allocation.

This provides a complete cost and usage view that enables FinOps practices to work with total platform costs, regardless of your current Cost Allocation configuration or maturity.

Historical data is available starting from January 26, 2026.

Fixes and maintenance

Resolved issues in this release (SaaS)

  • Previously, the Data Explorer search filter provided empty suggestions in certain scenarios. We've resolved this error so that the search filter always shows the relevant suggestions. (MGD-8961)
  • Previously, Data Explorer showed the local timeframe for unsupported visualization types or even when it was deactivated. This behavior has been fixed so the local timeframe is now visible only when activated, and only for supported visualization types. (MGD-8770)
  • Previously, the OneAgent and ActiveGate message deduplication layers experienced data loss in certain high-volume scenarios. The bottleneck has been removed, and you'll now experience a higher throughput. (MGD-8518)
  • Previously, no Kubernetes metrics (such as utilization and pod data) were available in new environments created with Dynatrace version 1.330or . We've resolved this so that Kubernetes metrics are visible as expected. (INFOBS-6891)
  • Previously, email notifications about Synthetic monitoring entities, such as impacted network availability monitors, displayed the affected entities in green text when they should have been displayed in red. This behavior is now fixed, and affected entities are always shown in red. (DI-24639)
  • Previously, if baseline events were merged into a Grail Problem that didn't have any previous baseline events, it was possible for that problem to lose information, such as the event in the root cause analysis and related affected entities. We've now fixed this behavior, so problems won't lose events or related affected entities, even if there is no baselining event when the problem is reported. (DI-24535)
  • Previously, the mobile request error details page could receive response parameters that contained control characters (newlines , returns , tabs ) in URLs. This caused suspicious path character errors and resulted in responses. We've resolved this; control characters will no longer result in an error. (DEM-19315)
