Dynatrace Hub - Remote Unix Monitoring 2.0 latest releases

Remote Unix Monitoring 2.0 3.1.2

Wed, 05 Aug 2026 19:51:30 +0000

Requires minimum Dynatrace version 1.343.0 and EEC (ActiveGate) version 1.318.0

Security updates:

Includes an update to the included cryptography library for the following CVEs:
- CVE-2026-69247
- CVE-2026-69248
- CVE-2026-69249

Remote Unix Monitoring 2.0 3.1.1

Thu, 30 Jul 2026 04:28:32 +0000

Requires Dynatrace version 1.343.0 and EEC (ActiveGate) version 1.318.0

DEPRECATION WARNING - PLEASE REVIEW:

Due to a deprecation in the underlying library (Paramiko) we use for handling SSH, a future version of this extension will remove support for connecting with keys that use SHA-1 hashing.
As part of this, any configurations that are detected to be connecting with this insecure legacy approach will log a warning status
Consider updating systems or SSH services to avoid issues when this update occurs which will likely be the next occasion of a security vulnerability in this library that requires updating to the latest version.
For more information, refer to the Paramiko Change Log. Specifically see the notes on the 5.0.0 version.

Features:

This extension is now using all rich visualization features of Grail within Infrastructure & Operations App.
Support for setting endpoint (host) level primary tags and fields

Fixes:

Increases the timeout on the built-in availability error event to be the configured frequency plus 2 minutes (increased from 1) to reduce rare cases where an outage could result in problems opening and closing repeatedly.

Remote Unix Monitoring 2.0 3.0.7

Mon, 15 Jun 2026 16:00:55 +0000

Fixed in this vesion:

Pinned dependency to restore ability to connect with legacy key-exchange methods:
- diffie-hellman-group-exchange-sha1
- diffie-hellman-group14-sha1
- diffie-hellman-group1-sha1

Improved in this version:

Add id_classic field to REMOTE_UNIX_HOST_GROUP and REMOTE_UNIX_HOST Smartscape nodes.

Remote Unix Monitoring 2.0 3.0.5

Fri, 29 May 2026 18:52:46 +0000

⚠️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.
- 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:

A locale environment variable is set at the command level for collecting top process data on Solaris to prevent a locale specific issue where commas are used instead of periods in numeric outputs

Remote Unix Monitoring 2.0 2.7.2

Tue, 28 Apr 2026 15:33:41 +0000

Requires Dynatrace 1.330 and ActiveGate 1.318

Changes:

Several minor improvements to error handling in rare edge cases that could prevent SSH sessions from being closed properly

Remote Unix Monitoring 2.0 2.7.0

Thu, 12 Mar 2026 19:33:15 +0000

Requires environment 1.330 and ActiveGate 1.318

Security improvements

Configuration values for process matching and custom PATHs are now sanitized to prevent command injection
- If you relied on inclusion of filter parameters into the pattern fields you should review this before a wide update and switch to using the supported fields for user filtering instead
New optional configuration to pin a known SSH key fingerprint for monitored endpoints
- If configured, fingerprint mismatches will not authenticate or connect and will send a CRITICAL log event as it can indicate a potential Man in the Middle attack

Remote Unix Monitoring 2.0 2.6.4

Wed, 18 Feb 2026 21:53:22 +0000

Ensure required dimensions exist for entity creation
Update Dashboard App dashboards to use latest entity urls

Remote Unix Monitoring 2.0 2.6.3

Tue, 17 Feb 2026 18:35:53 +0000

Updates

New build with latest version of all dependencies

Remote Unix Monitoring 2.0 2.6.0

Thu, 06 Nov 2025 09:52:22 +0000

⚠️ NOTE: This version requires a minimum Dynatrace and ActiveGate version of 1.313.0 or later

🚀 Improved in this version:

Dynatrace Error codes (DECs) are now present in errors to assist in troubleshooting.
Statuses are reported per endpoint.

Remote Unix Monitoring 2.0 2.5.6

Thu, 02 Oct 2025 11:46:20 +0000

Minimum ActiveGate version is `1.309`

Features

The credential vault can now be used for key based authentication
Creation of an availability error event on connection issues can now be disabled in advanced settings

Improvements

The use of a timeout prefix on all commands is now configurable and disabled by default
- Rare setups were found where this prefix caused the extension to hang
- It can still be enabled as a fail-safe for systems which do not have the hang issue, however there have been no cases where this functionality was required to resolve an issue

Remote Unix Monitoring 2.0 2.4.13

Tue, 02 Sep 2025 09:55:30 +0000

NOTE: This release requires a minimum ActiveGate version of 1.309.0 or later.

New in this version:

dt.security_context is attached to entities.
A New Dynatrace Dashboard has been added for use in the latest Dynatrace.

Remote Unix Monitoring 2.0 2.4.8

Wed, 09 Jul 2025 15:37:16 +0000

Requires ActiveGate 1.279+

Improvements

Fastcheck changed from ssh login and command test to simple tcp check
- Faster and not affected by issues such as bad credentials
pgrep filters for user now use the "effective" user
device.address added to all metrics
Several improvements to prevent rare cases where commands would 'hang' indefinitely
- Includes 'timeout' prefix to all commands (where available)
Logging improvements

Fixes

AIX: skip filesystems such as /aha which will not have data when reporting mounts
AIX: fix issue that prevented some properties from being reported
AIX: fix issue that would prevent some process filters from matching
Avoid issue where same filesystem could be reported multiple times
Handle newly identified vmstat outputs
Fix issue that prevented 'Availability event' from being reported

Features

Configurable frequency
Platform updates for compatibility with IO app

Remote Unix Monitoring 2.0 2.2.22

Mon, 06 Jan 2025 18:46:55 +0000

Changes

Configuration option to only collect local mounts
Longer connection timeouts allowed when using persisted connection
More connection debugging options available
Reclaimable memory now considered for AIX memory metrics
'Do not merge' property set on availability event when unable to connect
Detection of hangs when reading from standard output

Fixes

df output now correctly reports sizes using base 2 interpretation of command output on Solaris and AIX (e.g. 1K = 1024 bytes instead of 1000 bytes as in base 10). This will result in a slight increase in the values of absolute metrics though the percentage will stay the same. Note that despite this, the Dynatrace UI still uses base 10 for the units so while the number of bytes will be the same you may see different numbers because the UI would show Gigabytes while the df command outputs Gibibytes.

Remote Unix Monitoring 2.0 2.2.12

Wed, 18 Sep 2024 06:56:44 +0000

considers buffer and cache space in reporting available memory on some older Unix distributions
handles reporting of values with the largest units (E, Z, and Y)
fix bug in reporting of MacOS disk transfers metric
adds missing metric metadata for some MacOS-specific metrics

Default the optional remote host group value to "default"
- Primarily to ensure metric tables/charts/selectors will not break when not set

Remote Unix Monitoring 2.0 2.2.2

Tue, 04 Jun 2024 07:57:52 +0000

Fixes bug in AIX where certain output of the 'df' command could cause processing of mount data to break
Increases filtered process pattern length limit to 1000
