What is a primary benefit of custom metrics ingestion in Dynatrace?

The primary benefit of custom metrics ingestion in Dynatrace is enhanced monitoring across diverse data sources. This capability allows organizations to collect and integrate metrics from various applications, services, and infrastructure components that are not natively monitored by Dynatrace. By ingesting custom metrics, users can create a more comprehensive view of their system’s performance, health, and usage patterns.

This flexibility is crucial for organizations that operate in complex environments with a mix of proprietary software, third-party services, and cloud solutions. It enables teams to monitor critical business metrics that are unique to their operational needs, leading to more effective problem detection, root cause analysis, and overall system optimization.

While easier performance comparison across environments, improved data visualization, and increased system load are aspects related to monitoring performance, they do not capture the core advantage of custom metrics ingestion, which is the ability to unify monitoring across varying data sources tailored to specific business requirements.
