Dynatrace Hub - PostgreSQL latest releases

PostgreSQL 3.2.6

Wed, 19 Aug 2026 10:24:39 +0000

Bugfixes

Fixed health charts for PostgreSQL nodes in the Infrastructure and Operations app.

⚠️ This version requires ActiveGate version 1.341.0 or higher.

PostgreSQL 3.2.4

Mon, 03 Aug 2026 07:18:44 +0000

Changed in this version

To align with the latest Database licensing model:
- Top statements collection was changed to collect the top 333 statements (down from top 1000).
- A new heartbeat log is ingested every 10 minutes, part of event.group == heartbeat.
Enrich metrics with dt.openpipeline.source dimension.
Schema details and DB configuration are now collected by default every 6 hours instead of 24 hours. This prevents Dynatrace problems raised on these logs from timing out.

⚠️ This version requires ActiveGate version 1.341.0 or higher.

PostgreSQL 3.1.0

Mon, 22 Jun 2026 13:41:45 +0000

Improvements

Queries now run conditionally depending on detected Postgres database version.

⚠️ This version requires ActiveGate version 1.339.0 or higher.

PostgreSQL 3.0.10

Thu, 21 May 2026 13:28:07 +0000

Breaking changes:

⚠️ Possible breaking changes and warnings - PLEASE READ before upgrading to this version ⚠️:

This version requires a minimum Dynatrace version of 1.338 and a minimum ActiveGate EEC version of 1.337.
This version includes a breaking change for 3rd gen environments:
- With the inclusion of OpenPipeline pipelines, any logs emitted by this extension will be processed by a dedicated OpenPipeline pipeline instead of the classic pipeline. This means that classic rules will no longer be used on logs emitted by the extension. Please be sure to migrate any you still need to OpenPipeline rules.
- 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.
- Any dynamic pipelines that were configured to route metrics or logs coming from this extension will no longer be used as data will be statically routed to the extension-shipped pipeline.
- Finally, you must opt-in to OpenPipeline configuration via Settings API – see documentation.
The new tables feature set introduced with this version is disabled by default and may cause high license consumption if enabled.
Dropped support for PostgreSQL versions 13 and below.

Features:

Smartscape 2.0 topology supporting, instance, database, table and index nodes.
New tables feature set added with table and index-related metrics:
- Metrics captured: postgres.tables.*, postgres.indexes.*.
- Data captured every 15 mins by default, can be configured with Table query interval field.
- The database schema is collected as a log every 24 hours, can be configure with the Configuration query interval field.
Execution plans for top queries are now automatically captured. These will be shown in a future version of the databases app.
Added PII masking for queries coming from pg_stat_activity.

Improvements:

A large portion of system queries are no longer collected as part of top statement collection.

⚠️ This version requires ActiveGate version 1.337.0 or higher.
