Overview

The Smartscape app provides a real-time, interactive topology of your IT environment, enabling you to analyze dependencies, relationships, and patterns across your entire technology stack. Designed for analyzing modern, multicloud, and AI-driven systems, it helps teams quickly understand and act on complex IT environments with minimal manual effort.

Explore powerful visual analytics with features like:

  • Real-time topology mapping: Automatically discovers and maps all entities (services, hosts, containers, cloud resources, etc.) and their relationships across cloud, on-premises, and hybrid environments.

  • Domain-specific views: Pre-built views for clouds, Kubernetes, services, and more, tailored for domain-specific use cases.

  • Multidimensional analysis: Use different perspectives like horizontal, vertical, or force view to identify clusters, hidden dependencies, or to analyze end-to-end workflows.

  • Seamless integration with other apps: Access Smartscape directly from other Dynatrace Apps (for example, Problems, Kubernetes, Clouds) for in-context exploration.

  • Apply your context: Filter views using segments based on cloud tags to focus on critical applications, specific teams, environments, or business units.

Use cases

  • Smartscape on Grail: Explore your entire digital ecosystem end-to-end with a unified model that connects everything from services to infrastructure for a complete architectural context.
  • Clouds overview: Gain a unified, real-time topology of AWS EC2 instances and surrounding components to analyze security posture, optimize costs, and validate architecture.

1.343.0

Summary

This release adds databases as nodes in the service dependency graph and extends the node tooltip with primary Grail fields and per-metric actions. Filtering now supports array- and object-typed fields, and several filtering, selection, layout, and rendering issues are fixed.

Changes

  • NEW: Databases now appear as nodes in the service dependency graph, so you can see which services depend on which databases.
  • NEW: Metric rows in the node tooltip now have a sub-menu with copy, recommended intents, and "Open with…" actions.
  • Node tooltips now show an entity's primary Grail fields.
  • Filtering now supports fields whose values are arrays or objects — such as tags, labels, and Grail primary tags.
  • Updated the data-limit toast wording for clarity.
  • Fixed an issue where invalid or unsupported filter expressions were silently cleared to an empty filter instead of showing a validation error and preserving the user's typed input.
  • Fixed an issue where collapsing a group in isolate mode caused it to immediately reopen.
  • Fixed a blank-screen phase between data loading and rendering; the "Rendering graph…" state is shown again.
  • Fixed an issue where opening a Smartscape view with a node in the URL did not select or zoom to that node.
  • Fixed an issue where the selected node was not restored when opening the Problem details modal.
  • Fixed an issue where the search results list rendered every result at once instead of only the visible ones, slowing down large result sets.
  • Fixed an issue where a group's highlight did not clear after the cursor left a legend result row or the search was cleared.
  • Fixed an issue where edge tooltips in the VRP view pointed in the wrong direction for affected and root-cause edges.

Full version history

1.342.0

Summary

This release builds on the filtering introduced in 1.341.0. Filters now support OR conditions and nested groups, autocomplete values, cover all primitive field types, and apply with a keyboard shortcut. Edge tooltips gain inline actions, problem-view edges now point the right way, and several layout, selection, and node-cap issues are fixed.

Changes

  • Filters now support OR conditions and nested groups, so you can build more complex logic — combine conditions with AND/OR and group them, including groups within groups.
  • Edge tooltips now support actions: filter by an edge type's value directly from the tooltip, and click an entity row to navigate to that entity.
  • Filtering now works across all primitive field types, including booleans, numbers, timestamps, durations, and IP addresses.
  • Filter fields now autocomplete values for node, edge, and problem filters.
  • The list of fields you can filter by is now built dynamically from your environment, so filter fields offer the keys actually present on your nodes.
  • Filter fields now accept Ctrl+Enter (Windows) or Cmd+Enter (Mac) to apply filters without clicking the Apply button.
  • Fixed an issue where edges in the problem view pointed the wrong way; they now point from the problem node toward the affected and related entities.
  • The header in embedded VRP and topology views now appears as a consistent button next to the graph controls.
  • When the graph hits the node cap, the warning toast now shows how many nodes exist in your environment versus how many are displayed, giving clearer context about what's hidden.
  • Fixed an issue where selecting a node from the legend highlighted its connections but didn't expand the collapsed group it belonged to or reveal the node.
  • Fixed an issue where clearing node isolation reset the graph to its initial layout while the layout selector still showed the layout chosen during isolation.
  • Fixed an issue where the "View topology" action in search-result tooltips always opened the default topology view instead of the currently active one.
  • Fixed an issue where the legacy "show resolved problems" setting could override the problem status filter, causing filters like event.status = CLOSED to return no results.

Full version history

1.341.0

Summary

This release launches three new Smartscape capabilities: ad-hoc filtering, the new "All" topology view, and new AWS and Kubernetes views. The AWS, Kubernetes, and Azure views now load the most important entities first. The rest of the release improves performance on large views and fixes group expansion and Services view limits.

Changes

  • NEW: Filtering in Smartscape — narrow down your Smartscape views with ad-hoc filters: filter by node type, cloud and infrastructure labels, team ownership, environment, and other node and edge properties. Filters work alongside segments and are saved to the URL, so you can bookmark and share a focused view.
  • NEW: "All" topology view — shows every Smartscape relationship for a given node in one graph: the infrastructure stack, communication flows, and relationships such as monitoring, load balancing, routing, and API dependencies. Available from any Smartscape node in any app across the Dynatrace platform.
  • NEW: AWS & Kubernetes views — fully reworked AWS and Kubernetes views, now consistent with the rest of the Smartscape experience.
  • The AWS, Kubernetes, and Azure views now use priority-driven node loading, so the most important entities appear first.
  • Graph controls now adapt responsively to the available space.
  • Fixed an issue where source and target groups in topology views could be incorrectly locked, preventing them from being expanded even when their contents could be displayed. They can now always be expanded by double-clicking.
  • Fixed an issue where the Services view could show more nodes than its limit, because the limit was applied to each entity type separately rather than to a single combined total.
  • Fixed an issue where edge queries became unusably slow on large production views with thousands of visible nodes.

Full version history

1.340.3

Summary

Locate specific nodes across any Smartscape view. A new search field lets you jump to nodes by name or ID, and the legend is now interactive — expand any entity type and navigate to its nodes directly, without typing a query. The rest of the release is polish and bug fixes around tooltips, layout switching, and selection state.

Changes

  • NEW: You can now search for nodes by name or ID across all Smartscape views, including modal views. Press Ctrl+F (or Cmd+F on Mac) to focus the search field; matching nodes are highlighted in the graph and the legend narrows to the matching entity groups.
  • NEW: The legend is now interactive — expand any entity type to see its nodes and navigate to them directly in the graph, without typing a search query.
  • Reduced excess padding in tooltips for a tighter layout.
  • Smartscape view descriptions are now more concise and action-oriented, making it easier to pick the right view.
  • Added loading indicators to the legend in full and horizontal topology views.
  • The layout switch is now disabled when the graph has no edges, where it would have no effect anyway.
  • Fixed an issue where the selected node was dropped from the URL after refreshing the page following a layout change, breaking shareable selection state.
  • Fixed an issue where the graph wasn't re-rendering on layout changes and edge styles weren't updating.
  • Fixed an issue where groups couldn't be re-expanded after being collapsed via the collapse button.

1.339.2

Summary

This update adds a new Azure topology view built on the newly released Azure cloud monitoring. Flat Smartscape views are also refined to surface more relevant connections and load the most important entities first, so key parts of your environment are easier to understand at a glance. You can now invert layout directions in horizontal and vertical graph layouts, and node selection is preserved more reliably when using view isolation.

Changes

  • NEW: We've released a new Azure topology view, built on the newly released Azure cloud monitoring
  • Alongside the new Azure view, all flat Smartscape views have been improved — edges are now fetched using a smarter relevance-based logic that surfaces more of the connections that matter, and nodes are loaded according to a priority list to ensure the most important entities in your environment are always visible first.
  • You can now invert layout directions in all horizontal and vertical graph layouts for easier orientation and comparison.
  • Fixed an issue where the selected node wasn't preserved after triggering view isolation.

Full version history

  • Fixed an issue that prevented opening Smartscape views from search.

Full version history

1.336.1

Summary

This release improves Smartscape reliability and consistency across navigation and UI surfaces. URLs are updated to be more robust and easier to share, while tooltips and legends better reflect Grail data and standardized naming. It also introduces clearer empty states and error pages, along with targeted fixes in VRP and notifications to reduce disruption during analysis.

Note: This release includes a breaking change to the URL pattern/structure.

Changes

  • BREAKING: Updated all view URLs to a new, more consistent and future-proof schema. The new URLs also support additional view parameters to help preserve context when sharing.
  • Switched from using query parameters to hash parameters in Smartscape URLs to improve navigation stability and extensibility.
  • Continued aligning the properties shown in tooltips and legend with the underlying Grail data to ensure more consistent and reliable context.
  • Added node counts to the Visual resolution path legend to support faster interpretation at a glance.
  • Added context-aware empty state variants (with segment and timeframe support) and restyled existing error pages to provide clearer guidance and reduce ambiguity.
  • Automatically enabled visibility of resolved problems in the Problem graph when opened via intent or manually triggered to ensure investigations include relevant context.
  • Fixed the "limit reached" notification so it no longer triggers on every URL change, reducing unnecessary interruptions during navigation.
  • Fixed hardcoded SERVICE icons in the VRP edge tooltip.
