Manage DPS costs

  • 1min

Managing a Dynatrace Platform Subscription budget requires balancing the usage of Dynatrace features against an annual budget. Dynatrace provides several ways to manage your DPS costs:

  • Get cost overviews to see how DPS capability usage translates to real costs.
  • Cost monitors and Budget notifications provide automated and user-defined notifications of changes to cost forecasts, cost anomalies, and when budget thresholds are crossed.
  • Get detailed consumption insights for detailed analysis about your consumption of specific DPS capabilities.
  • Cost allocation helps you manage internal costs between departments, allowing you to hold business units accountable for their IT spending.

Combined, these capabilities enable you to manage your Dynatrace Platform Subscription costs with no need to set up limits that can threaten your business by stopping essential monitoring.

The pages in this section use specific examples to give you practical advice on how to manage your costs with these features. For more information about the features themselves, see Account Management.
