How much weight does each reported datapoint consume in Dynatrace?

In Dynatrace, each reported datapoint consumes 0.001 weight units. This means that for every individual measurement collected and reported by the monitoring system, it is assigned a minimal weight of 0.001 in the overall consumption metrics. This design allows Dynatrace to manage and scale data processing efficiently while still providing detailed observability.

Understanding this weight consumption is crucial when working with large volumes of metrics, as it ensures that users can effectively monitor resource utilization and avoid unintentional overage in their monitoring plan. This low weight per datapoint is particularly beneficial for environments generating high-frequency metrics, enabling the collection of extensive data without significantly impacting the overall limits set by Dynatrace.
