Create Dashboards for Dynatrace DPS Metrics

dannemca — Mon, 26 Jan 2026 11:07:04 GMT

Summary: This post discusses how to visualize Dynatrace DPS‑related metrics on dashboards. It describes which metrics exist, how to query them, and how to build meaningful monitoring panels.

Has anyone created a DPS Licensing dashboard yet?

In the demo, we have a really cool Licensing Dashboard that I loved to use in my previous account. But now, I am running a DPS account, so the metrics are different.

I was about to create a new dashboard, since I found none created in the demo, but I was facing a hard time understanding the new metrics. So, has anyone already created one so I can borrow it? 😁

@dannemca I've worked with customers across all types if Dynatrace License models. We have a DPS licensing dashboard, this dashboard is very in-depth and covers all environments with the ability to click into a specific environment and get even more granular with the consumption.

@dannemca is it enough for you? 😉

It does helps, but I am not satisfied yet. Let's see if someone else has others examples to share.

We just moved to DPS for 2024 and I was also searching for some inputs to build a dashboard.
I made the dashboard below, if it can give you ideas.
I use a fix timeframe : 2023-12-31 to now
It's not 100% accurate, 2 metrics are missing in data explorer (only available in notebook) :
- Cost for Automation Workflows
- Cost for AppEngine Functions

Thanks in advance

Hi @Yosi_Neuman

To compute the price, I need to specify for each metric the unit rate which is a non-disclose information.

It will take time to me to mask all the data in the json.

Nevertheless, this below few requests for example :

Full-stack

((builtin:billing.full_stack_monitoring.usage_per_host:splitBy():default(0, always))*x.xxxxx) :setunit(Euro)

x.xxxxx will be the unit rate

If your rate is 500$ per 100.000 memory-gibibyte-hours

Then the rate is 0.005 per 1 memory-gibibyte-hours

So the value in the request will be *0.005

Total consumed

( ((builtin:billing.full_stack_monitoring.usage_per_host:splitBy():default(0, always))*x.xxxxx) + ((builtin:billing.infrastructure_monitoring.usage:splitBy():default(0, always))*x.xxxxx) + [...] ) :setunit(Euro)

Total consumed in %

( ( ((builtin:billing.full_stack_monitoring.usage_per_host:splitBy():default(0, always))*x.xxxxx) + ((builtin:billing.infrastructure_monitoring.usage:splitBy():default(0, always))*x.xxxxx) + [...] ) /(your_total_budget) *(100) ) :setUnit(Percent)

Understood @Pierre_L thanks for the explanation,

BTW finding this hardcoded cost a bit cumbersome in terms of updates over the years and chancing of costs.

It would be a good product idea to get those cost information with in metrics which will replace the hardcoded cost.

All the best and stay safe

Hi @Yosi_Neuman

You're welcome.

You totally right, I made this new one for 2024 and I will be review it each year to adjust values if needed.

You suggestion will help for sure.

@Pierre_L Which Metric you use on "Annual commitment amount" and "Budget Forecast"

Hi @ChadTurner
No Json for DPS

Re: DPS metrics Dashboard

ChadTurner — Mon, 28 Apr 2025 11:33:25 GMT

@Malaik you'll need to scroll down into the comments. Limits on File count and size resulted in me needing to add in the Jsons as Comments.

Hi Chad,

Where is the json for Segment 1 - Overview DPS Dashboard?

(Same comment for another guy).

Not able to find the DPS one.
