Optimising licensing consumption

PF — Mon, 05 May 2025 07:21:56 GMT

I have users who would like to optimize licensing use (and maybe power consumption). They are trying to reduce the numbers of hours (overnight) the non-prod environment works. Does anyone have any other pro tips for optimizing license usage?

Hi,

Maybe some existing dashboards in demo tenants can help.

For example https://guu84124.apps.dynatrace.com/ui/apps/dynatrace.dashboards/dashboard/926584dc-1f25-4ded-8313-436b25ed0585

Best regards

Look at Account licensing page then look at most expensive costs. Do you have workflows that are disabled? There are cost to disabled Workflows. Save them off for future.

Dynatrace FinOps is a little discussed thing.

It really also depends on whether you're with Classic Licensing or DPS.

In either case, and considering that you should be in Full-Stack, optimizing your machines memory usage will get you probably the greatest savings. And not only in Dynatrace...
