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 metrics and/or 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.
