What’s New? Unveiling the Latest Features of the Azure Native Dynatrace Service

Introducing Multi-Subscription Monitoring for Dynatrace on Azure

We’re excited to announce the general availability of Multi-Subscription Monitoring (MSM) for the Azure Native Dynatrace Service (ANDS). This powerful new capability allows customers to monitor multiple Azure subscriptions through a single Dynatrace resource—significantly simplifying the setup of observability for multiple Azure subscriptions at scale.

Organizations often operate across dozens—or even hundreds—of Azure subscriptions. Until now, when setting up observability with the Azure Native Dynatrace Service, customers had to create one Dynatrace resource per Azure subscription, leading to higher operational overhead and some redundant configurations.

With Multi-Subscription Monitoring, customers can now consolidate monitoring of up to 20 Azure subscriptions into a single Dynatrace resource, streamlining their operations and reducing complexity.

🧩 How It Works

The feature is available directly in the Azure portal:

1. Navigate to your Dynatrace resource.
2. Go to Environment Configuration > Monitored Subscriptions.
3. Click Add Subscriptions.
4. Select the subscriptions you want to monitor—Dynatrace will automatically detect those where your managed identity has the required permissions.
5. Click Add. 

Once added, the subscriptions will appear with an “Active” status, and diagnostic settings will be applied automatically based on your tag rules.

⚠️ Note: You can link up to 20 subscriptions per Dynatrace resource. If you reach the 20 subscriptions linked to one Dynatrace resource, you have to create a new Dynatrace resource in the next Azure subscription you want to link.

To use MSM, the managed identity associated with your Dynatrace resource must have Owner permissions on the target subscriptions.

Announcing Enhanced Customization for Dynatrace OneAgent Installation on Azure VMs

We’re excited to introduce a powerful new capability in the Azure Native Dynatrace Service:  The installation of Dynatrace OneAgent  on Virtual Machines (VMs) now supports additional parameters. This enhancement adds flexibility and control to your observability workflows—directly from the Azure portal.

Previously, customers installing Dynatrace OneAgent via the Azure portal needed to manually configure important options. This included enabling system logs, choosing infrastructure-only monitoring, or setting proxy configurations. These settings were only available through CLI-based setups or post-installation.

This manual configuration created friction for certain use cases, including the following:

• Security-conscious teams wanting to pre-configure log ingestion, proxy settings and custom installation paths.
• SREs managing multiple subscriptions desiring to predefine host groups and network zones for better organization and routing.
• With this update, we’re providing advanced configuration and automation.

What’s New: Full Parameter Control at Install Time

You can now configure the following parameters during agent installation via the Azure portal or CLI:

These parameters are optional, giving you the freedom to tailor the installation to your environment’s needs.
