What is the maximum number of metrics that can be ingested per minute in Dynatrace?

The maximum number of metrics that can be ingested per minute in Dynatrace is indeed 1000. This limitation is significant because it helps manage the load on the Dynatrace system, ensuring that the performance and quality of monitoring stay consistent and effective. The ingestion limit is designed to provide a balance between the granularity of the data being collected and the system's ability to process that data in real-time.

Understanding these limits is crucial for users planning their monitoring strategies, especially when deploying Dynatrace in large environments with numerous applications and services generating extensive metrics. By setting this threshold, Dynatrace can maintain optimal performance and response times while also allowing users to prioritize which metrics are most important to monitor, ensuring that critical data is not lost or delayed in processing.

This cap also encourages users to strategize their metric collection effectively, focusing on the most vital metrics necessary to observe the health and performance of their applications while considering the impact on system resources.
