What it charges for
Every line item recorded for Dynatrace. "Not stated" means the vendor's own page gives no number; it is never treated as zero.

How the estimate is built
The standard deployment is priced by these components (methodology). A quantity is a formula over the workload variables; free allowances are subtracted first, and a tier prices only its own band.
| Component | Line item | Quantity | Free | Tier |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Full-Stack Monitoring (memory-GiB-hours, traced hosts) | Full-Stack Monitoring · per custom · DPS annual commit | apm_hosts * max(host_memory_gib, 4) * hours | ||
| Infrastructure Monitoring (host-hours, untraced hosts) | Infrastructure Monitoring · per custom · DPS annual commit | (hosts - apm_hosts) * hours | ||
| Log ingest and process (GiB) | Log Analytics - Ingest & Process · per gb-ingested · DPS annual commit | log_gib | ||
| Logs retained 30 days, queries included (GiB-days) | Log Analytics - Retain with Included Queries · per custom · DPS annual commit | log_gib * 30 | ||
| Trace ingest beyond Full-Stack allowance (GiB) | Traces - Ingest & Process · per gb-ingested · DPS annual commit | span_gib | 8.354 * apm_hosts * max(host_memory_gib, 4) | |
| Metric data points beyond Full-Stack allowance | Metrics - Ingest & Process · per million-metric-samples · DPS annual commit | metric_samples_million | 2.628 * apm_hosts * max(host_memory_gib, 4) |
