What is the disk/file system sizing requirement in Dynatrace Managed for 18 months reporting if we're planning to monitor 85 to 90 applications of Java and .NET?

Hello Sandeep,

As you aware in the Dynatrace, storage requirements is a bit different than the AppMon e.g.

Transaction Storage (code visibility)
Long-term Metrics Store (per node)
Elasticsearch (per node)

So the regardless the number of applications we will have to consider the below which will define our environemnt:

Max hosts monitored (per node)
Max user actions/s (per node)

e.g.

To monitor 8k hosts with a peak load of 3k user actions per second, you need 3 extra large nodes with a combined storage of 4TB for direct storage and 30TB for long-term metrics.
To monitor 200 hosts with a peak load of 500 user actions per second, you need 1 medium node with storage of 1TB for transactions and 2.5TB for long-term metrics, or to have failover you can also use 3 small nodes.

Have a look on the below link for the storage recommendation because requirements may vary for individual environments.

Managed hardware requirements
