Settings 1.0, 2.0 and some settings are on neither?

Dynatrace,

How long has it been since you introduced Settings 2.0? Seems to be at least 2 years based off this blog. https://www.dynatrace.com/news/blog/automate-dynatrace-configuration-management-at-scale-with-new-security-policies-preview/?_ga=2.131205135.1627278883.1701952263-98790739.1694459484&_gl=1*u6gkhv*_ga*OTg3OTA3MzkuMTY5NDQ1OTQ4NA..*_ga_1MEMV02JXV*MTcwMTk1MjI2My4yODUuMS4xNzAxOTUyOTAzLjAuMC4w

When will all pages be moved to settings 2.0? We need to completely implement IAM Policies but not everything is complete in Dynatrace.

There are many pages that don’t seem to be on settings 1.0 or 2.0. How about these below? These pages don’t even have the I (information) to tell me what the schema id and group is. When will this be done?

Settings	Web and mobile monitoring	Advanced setup

I feel your pain, I use to pull Schemas after every cluster update and identify what was new and if we could use them to allow even more granular permissions.

Hi!

Yes, there are a bunch of settings pages that are not on the settings 2.0 tech stack. The unfortunate news first: they won't all receive a 1:1 transition. More details on that are below.

This, however, is not a dealbreaker regarding the manageability via IAM. With the introduction of IAM roles (docs here, released with 1.252), you can manage access control completely in IAM so no need to mix and match with traditional permissions.

Regarding the mentioned pages, features that have improvements coming up and/or are already being replaced by new versions (notably Log v1/v2 and service monitoring) are not planned to be changed.
The recommendation for anything entity-based (i.e. applications, hosts, process groups) is to manage access via management zones which is also possible via IAM (see example). Some individual pages for applications are coming, but for internal reasons and not with the goal of having full coverage of everything that is there right now.

best,

Michael
