How much data transfer for stored logs is allocated per year for all monitored files?

The amount of data transfer allocated per year for stored logs across all monitored files is designed to accommodate the typical needs of monitoring and analysis without incurring excessive costs. A total allocation of 5 GB per year strikes a balance that allows users to effectively manage and analyze their logs while staying within reasonable limits for data transfer.

This allocation is sufficient for many organizations, especially those with moderate logging requirements, allowing them to ingest critical log data for troubleshooting and performance monitoring without overwhelming their storage or data transfer capabilities. Smaller allocations like 1 GB would be too restrictive for most users, while larger allocations may not be necessary for typical operations, leading to potential inefficiencies.

Therefore, the choice of 5 GB represents a practical guideline for log management in a Dynatrace environment, enabling effective monitoring practices while ensuring that users remain efficient in their use of resources.
