Dynatrace monitors serverless compute technologies through integration with cloud platform providers and tracing integrations.
Cloud services (including serverless functions and serverless containers) that are monitored using cloud vendor integrations for Amazon CloudWatch, Azure Monitor, or Google Cloud Operation Suite typically consume custom metrics. For details, see DDUs for custom metrics.
Dynatrace allows for the ingestion of log files from your serverless cloud services, which consumes Davis data units. For details, see DDUs for log files.
For AWS Lambda tracing integration, monitoring consumption is based on Davis data units. Dynatrace counts the total number of invocations (for example, requests) of the monitored functions. For each invocation, .002 DDUs are deducted from your available quota.
For example, if you monitor 1 function and that function is invoked 1 million times, DDU consumption will be calculated as follows: 1 function × 1 million invocations × 0.002 DDU weight = 2,000 DDUs per month per function.
Azure Functions provide many different hosting options, with different tracing integration possibilities. Tracing Azure Functions on the App Service (Dedicated) plan consumes host units.
For Tracing Azure Functions on consumption plan, monitoring consumption is based on Davis data units. Dynatrace counts the total number of invocations (for example, requests) of the monitored functions. For each invocation, .002 DDUs are deducted from your available quota.
For example, if you monitor 1 function and that function is invoked 1 million times, DDU consumption will be calculated as follows: 1 function × 1 million invocations × 0.002 DDU weight = 2,000 DDUs per month per function.
For Google Functions tracing, monitoring consumption is based on Davis data units. Dynatrace counts the total number of invocations (for example, requests) of the monitored functions. For each invocation, .002 DDUs are deducted from your available quota.
For example, if you monitor 1 function and that function is invoked 1 million times, DDU consumption will be calculated as follows: 1 function × 1 million invocations × 0.002 DDU weight = 2,000 DDUs per month per function.
Tracing serverless compute services such as Azure container instances or AWS Fargate consumes host units. For more information, see Serverless functions.
