The Dynatrace Managed release version 1.304, updated on December 9, 2024, introduces several significant changes and enhancements. Among the breaking changes, the deprecation of the AWS log forwarder will be finalized by December 31, 2024, urging users to transition to the new Dynatrace Managed. Additionally, updates and new installations are blocked for certain versions of Red Hat Enterprise Linux and Oracle Linux, requiring system updates to apply the new release. Notable feature enhancements include improved NAM targetFilter support, expanded Kubernetes scopes for data ingest tokens, and a new preset dashboard for tagging worker processes. The release also addresses various resolved issues across different components, including improvements in Cassandra CPU usage, fixes for infrastructure monitoring, and adjustments for service-level objectives and session replay. Furthermore, operating systems support sees changes with certain versions no longer supported from late 2024 through early 2026, urging users to note the compatibility requirements for future updates.
