Amazon Linux 2018 is no longer supported. If you're running Amazon Linux 2018, you need to update your OS before you can apply this Dynatrace Managed update.

Maximum OpenTelemetry metric data points limit

Application Observability | OpenTelemetry

The OpenTelemetry protocol (OTLP) metrics ingest endpoint now enforces a maximum of 15 thousand metric data points per OTLP request. If the limit is exceeded, the endpoint returns a 413 Content Too Large response.

We recommend using a periodic metric reader in the OpenTelemetry SDK or a batch processor in the collector to limit the number of metric data points in the OTLP message.
