Counting an pricing of custom metrics follows a sliding window of a month (28days). So if you buy 1000 metrics you can monitor 1000 + 100 free custom metrics every month, either all of those metrics on one device or only 1 metric on 1100 devices. A metric here means the entire timeseries of measurements, no matter how often you update the data. </P><P>If you do not actively write the metric it will therefore removed from pricing count after 28days. </P><BR /> Mon, 01 Oct 2018 06:30:34 GMT https://community.dynatrace.com/t5/Open-Q-A/Custom-metrics-API-trial-account-limitation/m-p/95089#M5851 wolfgang_beer 2018-10-01T06:30:34Z
