What does increasing the ingest limit require in Dynatrace Managed?

Increasing the ingest limit in Dynatrace Managed involves raising the capacity for data that can be processed, which typically requires additional hardware resources. This is because a higher ingest limit means that more data streams or higher volumes of data are being handled, necessitating more CPU power, memory, and potentially storage. As the system must support the increased load, the physical or virtual infrastructure on which the Dynatrace Managed instance runs may need to be upgraded to ensure stability and performance.

While organizational processes like obtaining approvals or conducting system updates may be relevant in different contexts, they are not directly tied to the technical requirement of increasing the ingest limit. Additionally, suggesting that no changes are necessary overlooks the fundamental need for resources that can handle the higher demand. Therefore, the correct approach to increasing the ingest limit is to evaluate and potentially augment the existing hardware capabilities to support the new data processing requirements.
