What is the maximum size of a single request in Dynatrace Managed and SaaS?

The maximum size of a single request in Dynatrace Managed and SaaS is indeed 1 MB. This limit is designed to ensure efficient processing and handling of the data sent to and from the Dynatrace platform. When requests exceed this size, they may be truncated or rejected, which can affect the completeness of monitoring and performance data being captured. Understanding this limit is crucial for users who need to optimize the payload size of their requests to Dynatrace, especially when dealing with performance monitoring in large, complex applications.

While options like 512 KB, 2 MB, or 1.5 MB are common sizes in various contexts, they do not represent the constraints placed by Dynatrace on individual request sizes, which is specifically capped at 1 MB. This clarity helps users design their monitoring strategies appropriately and avoid potential pitfalls that might arise from exceeding the defined limits.
