Hi,

We can use dynatrace_ingest tool to push locally retrieved metrics to Dynatrace.

Do you know if this consume DDUs?

I made experiences with that in the past, and it did not consume, as each OneAgent monitored host had a set of included metrics.

Now, there are other variables that might change this, like DPS, that I'm not quite sure. Looking at the documentation in the link below, it references still HUs, so not aligned with DPS:

In any case, analyzing the Consumption data is a great way to check out if DDUs are being consumed or not...
