Unexpected consumption spikes can blow budgets and erode trust. This section covers two complementary tools from Dynatrace: budgets for planned thresholds tied to your financial cycle, and cost monitors for reactive anomaly detection.
Overview
Cost controls combine planned thresholds with reactive anomaly detection.
Budgets enforce annual commitments at the account, environment, and capability level.
Cost monitors detect unexpected changes as they happen and route alerts to the team that owns the consumption.
Cost notifications centralize channel behavior, permissions, and alert delivery options.
