VMware (remote monitoring) 4.1.1

Mon, 15 Jun 2026 18:06:40 +0000

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

This version requires a minimum Dynatrace version of 1.338.0
This version includes a breaking change for Dynatrace on Grail.
- 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.
