What other capabilities is the use of DDUs planned for?

The use of DDUs, or Dynatrace Data Units, is primarily planned for log, events, and traces because these components are critical for comprehensive observability within an environment. DDUs enable organizations to effectively analyze and derive insights from large volumes of data, which includes logs that record system activity, events that inform about state changes or occurrences in an application, and traces that follow the flow of requests through application components.

By utilizing DDUs for this purpose, Dynatrace provides a scalable and efficient way to capture and process these rich datasets, enabling teams to troubleshoot issues, optimize performance, and improve user experience. This capability is essential for modern application monitoring, where understanding the intricate relationships and dependencies between various systems is necessary for effective incident response and root cause analysis.

In contrast, other options like monitoring financial metrics, focusing only on database services, or user interface customization do not primarily utilize DDUs to the same extent as logs, events, and traces do in the context of observability. While these areas are important, they do not capitalize on the full range of data insights and performance monitoring that DDUs facilitate.
