The new Dynatrace dashboard lacks direct links to the services

MARCOSSILVA — Mon, 31 Aug 2026 21:04:01 GMT

The new Dynatrace dashboard lacks direct links to the services being used. In the classic version, these links are automatic; when I use an endpoint, it displays a link to the corresponding services. This doesn't happen in the new dashboard version, where I have to add each link manually—which makes it unfeasible.
Is this the new standard for the dashboard? A step backward?

Hi Marcossilva

That may have been the case in the past. However, the dashboard has been improved since then. Now, whenever you add dt.entity.* (such as service, process, host, etc.) as a dimension, it will automatically link to the corresponding entity. even you can "build" the link with add link but thats another problem.

the main diference here was this : by: { dt.entity.service }

It hasn't been working for me on the new dashboards.

Unlike the same service in the classic dashboard version.

you are using by endpoint.name, you have to put the entity id in the dimensions

@MARCOSSILVA not sure how to dql query to metric looks like, but you need to have the dt.entity.service or the dt.smartscape.service fields in the result, so that the link will be created.

(more intents are in the Open with... menu)
