Summary

Dynatrace offers a new SaaS Upgrade Assistant app designed to facilitate the transition from Dynatrace Managed to Dynatrace SaaS, enabling users to leverage Grail-based innovations such as AppEngine and Davis CoPilot. Grail, a purpose-built data lakehouse, is integral to converging real-time, historical, and predictive analytics on a unified platform, although its capabilities are exclusive to SaaS environments. The Upgrade Assistant automates the migration process by importing configuration settings from Managed environments, minimizing manual effort and disruptions while ensuring a smooth upgrade. The tool provides two editing modes for configuration updates and includes a preview mode to help track migration progress, supporting cluster administrators in managing complex environments. Available starting with Dynatrace Managed version 1.294, the app is accessible via Dynatrace Hub and aims to streamline upgrades with minimal downtime and configuration issues.
