How does Dynatrace account for a host that is stopped and started multiple times within an hour?

Dynatrace accounts for a host that is stopped and started multiple times within an hour as one unit due to true concurrency consideration. This approach recognizes that the host, despite its interruptions, is effectively contributing to the overall monitoring landscape during the time it is active.

In scenarios where a host stops and starts frequently, the essence of monitoring is to provide insights into its performance and health during its active periods. By considering it as one unit, Dynatrace ensures that the data reflects the overall capacity and activity level of the host without inflating the metrics based on transient states. True concurrency consideration allows Dynatrace to maintain a more accurate representation of resource usage and performance insights, which is essential for effective monitoring and analysis.

In contrast, options that suggest counting multiple units or fractions of a unit would inaccurately reflect the host's operational impact, leading to potential misrepresentations of resource utilization and performance metrics within the monitoring framework. Ignoring the host completely during its inactive periods would also neglect critical insights needed to assess its performance capabilities accurately during active engagement.
