In which scenario would you manually update Dynatrace Managed clusters?

Manually updating Dynatrace Managed clusters is particularly relevant when specific settings are configured. This means that if an organization has customized their Dynatrace setup—adding unique settings, integrations, or configurations—these settings might not be automatically preserved or recognized during an automatic update. Manual updates ensure that these custom configurations are considered and safely migrated without losing any critical settings.

When specific configurations are in place, such as integrations with other systems or tailored monitoring setups, it's essential to handle updates with care. Manual updates provide the opportunity to review and adjust any configurations if necessary, ensuring that the system remains aligned with the organization's specific needs after the update is implemented. This approach also allows for thorough testing and validation in a controlled manner, minimizing disruptions to the monitoring capabilities of Dynatrace.
