How does Dynatrace determine log storage requirements and costs?

Dynatrace determines log storage requirements and costs primarily by analyzing the average log file size and the retention period. This approach allows Dynatrace to calculate the total amount of data that will need to be stored over time based on how large each log file is and how long it will be kept.

By considering these factors, Dynatrace can effectively estimate the storage capacity required, which influences both performance and cost. A larger average log file size will increase the overall storage needs, while a longer retention period will necessitate more storage space over time. This data-driven assessment provides accurate projections for log management and helps organizations budget effectively for their log storage needs.

The other factors mentioned, such as user access, geographical storage location, or version-specific details, do not directly influence the fundamental metrics needed to calculate log storage requirements.
