During what time frame are custom metrics not considered for consumption?

Custom metrics in Dynatrace play a crucial role in monitoring and analyzing application performance over time. These metrics are typically generated based on specific user-defined parameters or application behavior. The consumption of these metrics, particularly in terms of retention and availability for analysis, is time-sensitive.

The correct time frame for when custom metrics are no longer considered for consumption is after one day. This is important because it aligns with the need for timely and relevant data in performance monitoring. After one day, these metrics are not available for granular insights in analytics, meaning that while historical performance data can be reviewed, custom metrics will no longer be factored into real-time analyses or dashboards where timely monitoring is crucial.

Understanding this timeframe is essential for effective monitoring setups, ensuring that teams focus on the most relevant data for immediate decision-making, while older data can still provide context for long-term trends but is not available for ongoing real-time assessments. Therefore, recognizing the one-day limitation helps users to strategize on how and when to leverage their custom metrics effectively.
