The Budget notifications feature ("Budgets") tracks and notifies you when Dynatrace Platform Subscription costs hit a user-defined threshold. You can use Budgets at the account, environment, and capability level and configure notifications to email you when budgets are exceeded. Examples of supported use cases include:

  • Get notified when your subscription reaches 75%, 90%, and 100% of its annual commitment.
  • Set a budget threshold of 10% of total subscription costs for a lower “sandbox” environment.
  • Set a fixed threshold for a new capability and be notified when it reaches USD 1,000 in costs.

Budgets complement the existing Cost monitors by allowing you to define custom thresholds at the environment and capability level. Further information, such as how to configure budget notifications, is available at Budgets.
