Business events

An event is an action or occurrence that takes place within a system or a service, such as when a customer completes a satisfaction survey or when a user selects a subscribe button. The system produces a signal when an event occurs. An event becomes a business event when it generates business-grade data. Dynatrace prioritizes business events separately from observability data to ensure business-grade data.

Carbon business events

Carbon business events contains carbon dioxide emissions (in grams) and energy consumption (Wh) that are calculated for hosts that are set up and monitored with OneAgent. Energy calculations are based on observed infrastructure metrics. The events are generated every hour by Carbon Impact app through an automation (Workflow).

Other sources of emissions data can be ingested as business event following this schema to make it consumable by Carbon Impact app.
