What do Host Units measure in Dynatrace?

Host Units in Dynatrace are a key metric used to quantify the size of infrastructure monitoring consumption. They provide a way to measure the resource allocation and usage based on the capability and activity of the monitored hosts. This metric allows organizations to better understand their monitoring needs and infrastructure costs, as it directly relates to how many hosts or units of infrastructure are being monitored and the extent of that monitoring.

In the context of Dynatrace, monitoring hosts involves tracking various metrics related to performance, availability, and resource utilization. Host Units effectively summarize the capacity that is being used for tracking these metrics, which can help in planning for future resource needs, managing costs, or scaling the monitoring solution appropriately. Understanding Host Units is crucial for effectively managing and optimizing the infrastructure within an organization's Dynatrace environment.
