What is the equivalent of 1 GiB log ingest in terms of log events for DDU calculation?

The equivalent of 1 GiB of log ingest in terms of log events for DDU (Davis Data Units) calculation is indeed 1 million log events. This equivalence is based on the average size of log events and how they are processed within the Dynatrace platform.

Typically, Dynatrace estimates that each log event generates about 1 kilobyte (KB) of size on average. Therefore, when considering that 1 GiB translates to approximately 1,024 megabytes (MB) and each MB contains about 1,024 KB, you can derive that 1 GiB is approximately 1,073,741,824 bytes.

When this data size is divided by the estimated size of an individual log event (1 KB), it results in around 1 million log events fitting into a 1 GiB limit. This understanding is crucial for organizations using Dynatrace for managing their log data efficiently and monitoring usage against their DDU thresholds.
