Summary

The latest version of the Dynatrace Enterprise plugin for Grafana introduces several enhancements aimed at facilitating the creation of user-friendly dashboards using Dynatrace's Metrics API v2 data and custom metrics. This integration is accessible to Grafana Cloud users and those with a Grafana Enterprise license, allowing them to configure Dynatrace data sources by selecting API types and inputting necessary credentials. The plugin offers a visual query editor with autocomplete and aggregation features, alongside the ability to apply dynamic and static aliases to make metric names more comprehensible. Additionally, users can implement ad hoc filters for efficient dashboard setup without needing to create variables, with further customization possible via a config file. The plugin is designed to enhance observability and is available through a Grafana Cloud account, where users can also access a free trial of Grafana Cloud Pro.
