Any tips to find old documentation ?

Hello,

Do you guys have any tips to find old documentation from Dynatrace ?


I'm working with CloudNative installation with Dynatrace Operator (so definitely not something old and deprecated ...).
I struggle to find some parameters in the Dynatrace documentation that some colleagues add to Dynakube configuration monthes ago.

    feature.dynatrace.com/k8s-app-enabled: 'true'
    feature.dynatrace.com/injection-readonly-volume: 'true'

I expect these parameters to be listed in the feature flag documentation here : https://docs.dynatrace.com/docs/ingest-from/setup-on-k8s/reference/dynakube-feature-flags but can't find them.

I found this community post : https://community.dynatrace.com/t5/Troubleshooting/High-Disk-usage-under-csi-driver-path-quot-csi-on...
Then a link to https://docs.dynatrace.com/docs/ingest-from/setup-on-k8s/reference/dynakube-feature-flags but nothing here.

How the documentation hare handled ? Is there any versionning of the documentation ?

I can't find these parameters on google or the internal Dynatrace search engine.
What happens to them ? Do you have any tips to handle the documentation's change done by Dynatrace ?

Hi, there’s currently no versioning available for the documentation. However, the feature.dynatrace.com/k8s-app-enabled flag you mentioned performs the following action: https://docs.dynatrace.com/docs/shortlink/enable-existing-clusters. The other flag is specifically intended for CSI-driver binaries.
One alternative I can suggest for accessing older documentation is using the Wayback Machine it might help you retrieve previous versions for reference.

@prgss ,

In these cases, Internet Archive to the rescue! Just search there for

  1. https://docs.dynatrace.com (2023-2025) eg. link 
  2. https://www.dynatrace.com/support/doc/ (2017-2022) eg. link

BTW, you can also look at the Community in the past.

Thank you very much for the quick answer.

Unfortunally the wayback machine is unauthorized in our environment.

It is kind of disturbing to only see the latest documentation.
All projects belonging to CNCF ecosystem use versioned documentation.

Is there any plan to use versioning in the future ?

@prgss ,

I'm not from Dynatrace, so can't reply.  @MaciejNeumann should be able to help.

Hello! DynKube parameters are actually versioned in this page: https://docs.dynatrace.com/docs/shortlink/dto-params-k8s (see the tabs) but none of these two parameters seem to have ever be documented: https://docs.dynatrace.com/docs/shortlink/dto-params-k8s
