Dynatrace FinOps
Understand what drives Dynatrace consumption before changing it.
Observability data has operational value, but its volume, retention and use also affect platform consumption. Reducing data without understanding the services it supports can remove evidence teams need. Dynatrace FinOps connects usage and cost analysis with engineering requirements so that optimization decisions are informed rather than indiscriminate.
Trace consumption to its drivers
CodeAttest examines the available Dynatrace usage and licensing information, configuration, telemetry volumes and retention choices. The review can consider applications, teams or environments where the data allows reliable attribution. It identifies material consumption drivers, unusual changes and areas where the current view is incomplete.
A change in consumption may result from onboarding, growth, instrumentation, a configuration change or a new use of the platform. Relating the change to that context is necessary before recommending an adjustment. Grail and other platform capabilities are considered where they form part of the customer's actual use.
Prioritize changes without losing needed visibility
Recommendations are reviewed against monitoring coverage, service responsibilities, security needs and the ability to investigate incidents. CodeAttest can propose changes to collection, retention, configuration or governance and establish a baseline for measuring their effect. The resulting work may include a cost-driver analysis, a prioritized set of engineering-reviewed actions and a measurement approach.
This service is useful when Dynatrace consumption needs clearer attribution, when usage has changed unexpectedly or when the organization wants a repeatable way to review platform cost. For the initial choice of deployment and licensing model, see Dynatrace Deployment & Licensing.
