⚠️WARNING⚠️: Possible breaking changes and warnings - PLEASE READ before upgrading:

This version requires a minimum Dynatrace version of 1.338.0 and a minimum EEC version of 1.318.0
This version includes a breaking change for Dynatrace on Grail.
- With the inclusion of OpenPipeline processing rules, any metrics ingested from the extension will be processed by a dedicated OpenPipeline pipeline.
- This means that any dynamic route configured to process any metrics from the extension will be dropped in favor of the dedicated pipeline. Please, refer to pipeline groups to continue using dynamic routes.
- With the inclusion of OpenPipeline processing rules, any logs ingested from the extension will be processed by a dedicated OpenPipeline pipeline instead of the classic log pipeline.
- This means that classic rules will no longer be used on logs ingested from the extension. Please be sure to migrate any you still need to OpenPipeline rules.
- Top current sql statement log records are now mapped to the default_database_monitoring bucket
- Additionally, some field names are handled differently in OpenPipeline, e.g. capitalization. Please double-check any custom dashboards and alerts you have created for this extension.
- You must opt-in to OpenPipeline configuration via Settings API – see the documentation.

New in this version:

Smartscape on Grail.
Added feature set metadata for recommended metrics.

Improvements:

WITH UR is now appended to all SELECT statements to help avoid potential locks via the Uncommitted Read Isolation Level

Fixes:

The top current sql query is improved to be more efficient and correctly sort by the longest running queries

IBM DB2 for LUW (remote monitoring) 2.0.1

Fri, 26 Jan 2024 19:43:14 +0000

As this may result in large amounts of additional data ingestion be sure to use with caution.
Includes backup metrics in the existing 'database' feature set:
