Licensing
There is no charge for obtaining the extension, only for the data (metrics & events) that the extension ingests. The details of license consumption will depend on which licensing model you are using. This will either be Dynatrace classic licensing or the Dynatrace Platform Subscription (DPS) model.
Metrics
License consumption is based on the number of metric data points ingested. The following formula will provide approximate annual data points ingested assuming all feature sets are enabled:
(64 + (1 x processTypes) + (5 x ipAddress:port) + (7 x databases) + (2 x journalTypes) + (3 x smhPurpose) + (7 x namespaces) + (6 x wqmCategories)) x 60 min x 24 h x 365 days data points/year
Classic licensing
In the classic licensing model, metric ingestion will consume Davis Data Units (DDUs) at the rate of .001 DDUs per metric data point.
Multiply the above formula for annual data points by .001 to estimate annual DDU usage.
Log records
This extension will report log events in 2 situations:
- When there are alerts available on the IRIS API alerts endpoint and the 'system alerts' feature set is enabled
- When the extension cannot connect to the configured IRIS API endpoint
- Each minute will have another event reported until the issue is resolved and a successful connection occurs
Log management and analytics (powered by Grail)
License consumption is based on the size (in bytes) of data ingested & processed, retained, and queried so there is not a single formula to estimate the total consumption from this extension. Consult the log management and analytics documentation for details on the other dimensions that will effect license consumption.
Classic licensing
In the classic licensing model, log record ingestion will consume Davis Data Units (DDUs) at the rate of 100 DDUs per Gigabyte of log records ingested.
Log monitoring classic
In log monitoring classic, license consumption is based on the number of ingested log records.
Classic licensing
In the classic licensing model, log record ingestion will consume Davis Data Units (DDUs) at the rate of .0005 DDUs per ingested log record.
Multiply estimated ingested log records by .0005 to estimate DDU usage from log records.
